  • Title: [Duodenocolonic fistula caused by carcinoma of the cecum].
    Author: García Rodríguez JF, Antela López A, Tomé Martínez de Rituerto S, Martínez Vázquez F, Antela Carrera C, Barrio Gómez E.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Apar Dig; 1989 Jul; 76(1):79-81. PubMed ID: 2678321.
    Abstract:
    Duodenocolonic fistulas of malignant origin are an uncommon finding. The point of origin of the fistula is almost always cancer of the hepatic angle of the colon. We report a patient with this rare entity which originated from a cecal carcinoma, and interpret it as an anatomic variant of the subhepatic position. The cases published are reviewed and the difficulties of reaching a therapeutic decision once the diagnosis is established are highlighted.
