Villous adenocarcinoma arising in the bypassed duodenum 18 years after a Billroth II subtotal gastrectomy: report of a case and review of the literature.
Eighteen years after a Billroth II procedure for a duodenal ulcer, a 65-year-old man presented with a large epigastric mass which was clinically interpreted as a pancreatic carcinoma. Fourteen months later, reevaluation of the enlarging mass led to a diagnosis of a villous tumor of the afferent limb of the gastroenterostomy. Laparotomy revealed an advanced villous adenocarcinoma. We could find only one other similar case in a 50-year literature review.
