title: [A case of small intestinal cancer in the upper intestine after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy].
abstract: We report a case of small intestinal cancer that arose in the upper intestine 16 years after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy( PPPD). An 84-year-old man, who had undergone PPPD for benign biliary tract disease 16 years previously, was found to have a primary small intestinal tumor in the upper intestine by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and primary intestinal cancer in the upper intestine was finally diagnosed. We performed partial resection of the upper small intestine and stomach and partial colectomy of the transverse colon to account for direct invasion. Histopathologically, the primary lesion was diagnosed as a moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Small intestinal cancer in the upper intestine after PPPD is extremely rare.
