[DOUBLE EPIDERMOID CARCINOMA IN A DUPLICATE SMALL INTESTINE. REPORT OF A CASE AND LITERATURE REVISION]
It is postulated that duplications of the intestinal tract have malignant potential. A case of double epidermoid carcinoma derived from a tubular duplication of the terminal ileum is described. The neoplasias came from areas of squamous metaplasia located in the mucosal lining at both ends of the duplication, invading the wall of the duplicated intestine. No metastasizing to the regional lymph nodes appeared. The 32-years-old patient has no longer the disease eleven years after the surgical treatment. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature focusing on etiology, diagnosis and treatment.
