Clinical History

A 76-year old man presented with epigastric pain and haematemesis discovered to be a duodenal tumour.

Case Description

The patient was referred to have an abdominal ultrasound which reveals a large heterogeneous mass in the duodenum. There was also intrahepatic biliary dilatation and raised portal vein flow velocity, all secondary to the obstructive nature of the duodenal mass.

Treatment/Follow Up

The patient also had Oesophagoduodenoscopy (OGD) which revealed the mass to be causing a gastric outflow obstruction. 

The patient also has a CT scan of the chest abdomen and pelvis (with contrast) which revealed the obstructive mass to be at D2/3 with an abnormal D3 and an abrupt calibre of D4. 

The patient was referred to the Upper GI specialists for further management.
