Abstract

Introduction: Duodenal squamous cell carcinoma is an exceedingly rare occurrence among gastrointestinal malignancies, and its diagnosis and treatment are not well understood. Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case of duodenal squamous cell carcinoma with liver and adrenal metastasis. The patient was treated with gemcitabine and S-1, achieving a progression-free survival of 7 months and an overall survival of 9 months. Additionally, we review the features and treatment approaches reported in previous cases of primary duodenal carcinoma. Conclusion: Clearly, further case reports, such as ours, can contribute to a deeper understanding that is essential for characterizing this entity and establishing management guidelines.
