  • Title: Coeliac disease and malignancy of the duodenum: diagnosis by endoscopy, successful treatment of the malignancy, and response to a gluten free diet.
    Author: Hall MJ, Cooper BT, Rooney N, Thompson H, Read AE.
    Journal: Gut; 1991 Jan; 32(1):90-2. PubMed ID: 1991642.
    Abstract:
    A patient presented with subtotal villous atrophy and a malignant duodenal tumour of uncertain histogenesis. He was successfully treated by resection and chemotherapy and the small bowel mucosa recovered on a gluten free diet. The tumour was diagnosed at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy when barium studies and abdominal computed tomography were normal, thus making this one of the earliest coeliac malignancies diagnosed.
