Abstract
Abstract
Duodenal squamous cell carcinoma is extremely uncommon among gastrointestinal malignancies. The diagnosis and treatment were less understood. We report a case of duodenal squamous cell carcinoma with liver and adrenal metastasis, who was treated with gemcitabine and S-1 and obtained a PFS of 8 months eventually. Additionally, the features and treatment of primary duodenal carcinoma reported so far were reviewed in this paper. Obviously, further case reports such as ours can generate deeper cognition, which is essential for the nature of this entity and establish management guidelines.
