| Core Tip |
Adenocarcinoma that develops from heterotopic pancreas tissue in the duodenum is a very rare disease. Therefore, standard chemotherapy regimens to treat these patients have not been established. A 65-year-old woman presented with unresectable duodenal cancer with HER2 overexpression. Because the patient responded well to trastuzumab chemotherapy, pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. Histology and immunohistochemistry assessments revealed that the cancer developed from heterotopic pancreas tissue in the duodenum. The findings of this case suggest that HER2 status should be examined in duodenal adenocarcinoma to determine the indication for targeted therapy. Trastuzumab chemotherapy is effective for heterotopic pancreatic adenocarcinoma but not orthotopic pancreatic cancer. |
