[A case of early stage double carcinomas arising in the duodenum and stomach].
The first Japanese case of early stage double carcinomas arising in the duodenum and the stomach is reported. The patient, a 69-year-old man, visited our hospital chiefly complaining of an epigastric pain. X-ray and endoscopic examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract revealed a slightly depressed lesion at the antrum of the stomach and a pedunculated polyp at the 2nd portion of the duodenum. A pancreatoduodenectomy combined with a subtotal gastrectomy was performed and reconstruction was accomplished by the Billroth 1 procedure. A pathologic study of the removed specimens revealed two foci of carcinoma limited to the mucosal layer of the stomach and the duodenum and lymph nodes without metastasis. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.
