Abstract Background: CREST (Calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly and Telangiectasias) syndrome has been rarely associated with other malignancies (lung, esophagus).This is the first report of a primary adenocarcinoma of the third portion of the duodenum in a patient with CREST syndrome. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male patient with CREST syndrome presented with colicky postprandial pain of the upper abdomen, diminished food uptake and a 6-Kg-body weight loss during the previous 2 months. An ulcerative lesion in the third portion of the duodenum was revealed during duodenoscopy, with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma on biopsy specimen histology. The patient underwent a partial pancreatoduodenectomy. No adjuvant therapy was instituted and follow-up is negative for local recurrence or metastases 21 months postoperatively. Conclusion: CREST syndrome has been associated with colon cancer, gastric polyps, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome and Crohn's disease; however, this is the first report of a primary adenocarcinoma of the duodenum in a patient with CREST syndrome. However, any etiologic relationship remains to be further investigated.

Physical examination revealed a pale, malnourished patient and an unremarkable abdomen without tender- ness or distension. Besides an anemia, the other blood investigations, as well as tumor markers, were within nor- mal limits. Plain abdominal radiographs showed no path- ological findings, while contrast-enhanced series demonstrated a stricture in the transition area from the second to the third portion of the duodenum (Figure 1). Abdominal computed tomography showed a mass in the duodenum, without evidence of metastases (Figure 2). Thorax computed tomography was negative for metas- tases as well. Gastroduodenoscopy revealed an ulcerated lesion between the second and third portion of the duo- denum and the biopsies showed an adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy was normal.

Therefore, a partial pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple's procedure) was carried out. Histological examination revealed a low- grade duodenal adenocarcinoma of maximal diameter 4 cm, which infiltrated the duodenal wall and the fibro-adi- pose tissue of the mesentery. Metastasis was found in one out of ten lymph nodes examined, while the surgical mar- gins were negative for microscopic disease. The patient's postoperative course was complicated with a peripancreatic-remnant collection and a lower respiratory infection, which were treated conservatively. No additional therapy was instituted and 21 months after the operation the patient is alive, without any evidence of local recurrence or metastases. Discussion Primary duodenal adenocarcinoma represents a relatively rare clinical entity. Duodenum constitutes the most pre- dominant site (55%) of occurrence of adenocarcinoma throughout the small intestine, followed by the jejunum (18%) and ileum (13%) [4]. The distribution pattern of adenocarcinoma within the duodenum is reported to par- allel the length of each portion. The first portion is affected in 15%, the second portion in 40% and the third and fourth portion in 45% of the cases [5]. Most of these neoplasms are asymptomatic until they become large in size.
