Article Abstract
Background: The optimal surgical procedure for primary duodenal cancer has not been established because of its low incidence. The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of lymph node (LN) metastasis in duodenal bulb tumors. Specifically, in tumors with submucosal invasion, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of distal gastrectomy with duodenal bulb resection combined with lymphadenectomy of regional gastric LNs.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent surgery for either adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumors located in the duodenal bulb between 2000 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed from five high-volume centers in Japan. Patient background, clinicopathological factors, type of surgery, distribution of LN metastasis, and long-term outcomes were evaluated.
Results: The frequency of LN metastasis in tumors with submucosal invasion was 18%. Metastatic LNs were identified in T1b adenocarcinomas for #6, #8a, #8p, with similar results for neuroendocrine tumors. The 3-year overall survival rate for adenocarcinoma in stages T1a, T1b, and T2-4 was 100%, 81%, and 56%, respectively. Neuroendocrine tumors were 100% at all depths of invasion. Regarding LN tumors with submucosal invasion, while three patients had a recurrence, two cases were observed in distant organs without regional LNs, and one patient who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy had metastasis in the gastric regional LNs.
Conclusion: For duodenal bulb tumors, based on the distribution of LN metastasis with tumors with submucosal invasion, distal gastrectomy with duodenal bulb resection and regional LN dissection is considered a curative treatment. Conversely, pancreaticoduodenectomy is recommended for tumors invading the muscularis propria and beyond.

Objective: Aim: Conduct an analysis and provide a pathophysiological justification for the case of the formation of an ulcer of the duodenal bulb in a 27-year-old soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: After collecting the anamnesis, the patient underwent a comprehensive examination, which included step-by-step pH-metry, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, testing for Helicobacter pylori infection (HP) (urease test and microscopic examination of stained smears-prints) in 4 topographic zones of the stomach, and histological examination of the gastric mucosa in the same zones.
Results: Results: When collecting a family history, it was found that relatives on one male line - father and grandfather - suffered from ulcer disease.
A Case of Endoscopic Removal of an Ingested Bread Bag Clip Penetrating the Pyloric Ring.

A 54-year-old man with autism presented to our hospital for the evaluation of anemia and body weight loss. The patient had mild upper right abdominal pain, and computed tomography revealed wall thickening of the duodenal bulb. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed that a bread-bag clip (BC) pierced the pyloric ring and that a duodenal ulcer was present at the puncture site.

Introduction: Gastric-phenotype non-ampullary duodenal carcinomas are rare but potentially aggressive tumors.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old woman was referred for a duodenal polyp. Endoscopy revealed multiple duodenal bulb polyps suggestive of Brunner's gland hyperplasia.

Heterotopic pancreas is a rare, benign condition characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue outside its normal anatomical location, and its association with malignancy is extremely rare. Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP), also a rare condition, is the cystic formation of gastric glands in the stomach submucosa and/or muscularis propria. We present the case of a 65-year-old male with who presented to the emergency department (ED) with 6 day history of worsening epigastric pain and nonbloody emesis.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of duodenal tumors is challenging due to its unique anatomy and high risk of adverse events. Its use is limited in the United States due to procedural complexity. Our study highlights the feasibility of ESD for managing duodenal tumors in the US.
