Duodenal carcinoids are rare tumours. There is an increased
incidence of primary carcinomas, especially in the gastrointestinal tract, which occur synchronously with gastrointestinal tract
carcinoids. However, the synchronous occurrence of adenocarcinoma of
the gastro-oesophageal junction with a duodenal carcinoid has not been
previously described. A case report is presented, with discussion of
carcinoid tumours and management when occurring synchronously with
non-carcinoid tumours.
Keywords: adenocarcinoma; duodenal carcinoid; gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma; synchronous tumours
