  • Case Report
  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

L’observation rapportée concerne un homme de 46 ans, admis dans notre hôpital pour hémorragie du tractus digestif supérieur. L’endoscopie a révélé une masse sous-muqueuse ulcérée de la deuxième partie du duodénum. L’examen histologique des prélèvements au niveau de l’ulcère et de ses bords a démontré une métastase d’un mésothéliome malin et les investigations ultérieures ont confirmé ce diagnostic.

Summary

A 46-year-old man was admitted to hospital with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopy showed an ulcerated submucosal mass in the second portion of the duodenum. Histological examination of biopsies taken from the ulcer and its margin established the diagnosis of metastasis from malignant mesothelioma. Further studies were consistent with diagnosis.
