Abstract:
The adenocarcinoma of the Treitz angle is extremely rare. Its symptoms are not specific, hence its often late diagnosis. In addition, this anatomical location is difficult to access to standard endoscopy, so it is very difficult to obtain a biopsy. The surgical procedure for adenocarcinoma of the angle of Treitz remains controversial. It’s hard to get a carcinological resection of this cancer.
We report two new cases of adenocarcinoma from the Treitz angle with a literature review.
Our objective is to discuss the clinical manifestations and circumstances of diagnosis, as well as the therapeutic modalities for adenocarcinomas of this location.
