Intramural duodenal hematoma as a complication of pancreatic cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intramural duodenal hematoma (IDH) oc− curs mainly in children, secondarily to blunt abdominal injury. In adults, blunt abdominal trauma accounts for 70 % of IDH cases [1]. Nontraumatic causes of IDH in adults include coagulation disor− ders, duodenal biopsy, and endoscopic in− jection therapy for bleeding ulcers [2]. Very few cases of IDH of pancreatic origin have been reported [3± 5]. We describe a case of IDH presenting as a complication of pancreatic cancer. This report high− lights the need to consider a malignant process as a possible etiology of IDH.
