Abstract
Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive gastrointestinal malignancy that frequently presents with symptoms like gastric outlet obstruction and biliary obstruction, leading to delayed diagnosis and challenging prognosis. This case report explores the clinical presentation, diagnostic hurdles, and therapeutic management of late-stage duodenal adenocarcinoma in a 53-year-old woman with no significant prior medical history. The patient presented with severe epigastric pain radiating to the right upper quadrant, nausea, and decreased appetite. Elevated liver enzymes and imaging revealed multiple liver masses and a primary duodenal mass. Biopsies confirmed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Tumor markers were evaluated during the staging phase, showing markedly elevated levels. The patient underwent systemic chemotherapy with FOLFOX but faced complications, including pulmonary emboli and neurological symptoms. Management required a multidisciplinary approach, integrating palliative and supportive care to address symptoms and improve quality of life. The case highlights the necessity of considering duodenal adenocarcinoma when diagnosing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms. It highlights the need for a holistic treatment approach, including tailored chemotherapy regimens and vigilant monitoring of complications. Molecular profiling was crucial in guiding treatment decisions, although MSI, HER2, and PD-1 were negative, and the tumor showed no mismatch repair protein deficiency. This article emphasizes the importance of early integration of palliative care and the value of comprehensive pathological analysis in managing advanced duodenal adenocarcinoma, providing insights into diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this complex case.

Long-term outcomes after resection of extra-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinomas: single-center experience. J Gastrointest Surg 2024:S1091-255X(24)00586-9. [PMID: 39181233 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.08.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extra-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm. The data on long-term outcomes after curative resection are limited, and the role of systemic chemotherapy is not defined in these tumors. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors and survival of patients with resected primary duodenal cancers. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients with resected primary duodenal adenocarcinoma was conducted between January 2010 and December 2023. RESULTS A total of 59 patients were included in the study. The median age of patients was 60 years (IQR, 33-79), and 79.7% of patients were males. The second part of the duodenum was the most common location of the tumor in 42 patients (71.2%). Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 57 patients (96.6%), and segmental duodenal resection was performed on 2 patients (3.4%). The median lymph node harvest was 18 (IQR, 2-70). Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 39 patients (66.1%). At a median follow-up of 32.00 months (IQR, 3.29-166.74), the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival rates were 55.0% and 49.3%, respectively. Regarding prognostic factors, lymph node ratio (LNR; hazard ratio [HR], 2.94; 95% CI, 1.01-8.53), adenocarcinoma subtype (intestinal vs nonintestinal; HR, 4.59; 95% CI, 1.59-13.23), and margin of resection (HR, 44.24; 95% CI, 4.02-486.19) were significant factors for OS. CONCLUSION Margin-free surgical resection offers the best chance of cure for operable duodenal adenocarcinoma. The intestinal subtype and low LNR are predictors of better survival, and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy remains debatable until prospective randomized trials are conducted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Distinguishing between intramucosal cancer and submucosal invasive cancer is vital for optimal treatment selection for patients with superficial nonampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma (SNADAC); however, standard diagnostic systems for diagnosing invasion depth are as yet undetermined. METHODS Of 205 patients with SNADAC who underwent treatment at our institution between 2006 and 2022, 188 had intramucosal cancer and 17 had submucosal invasive cancer. The clinical, endoscopic, and pathological features used in the preoperative diagnosis of invasion depth and the diagnostic performance of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) were retrospectively analyzed in 85 patients. RESULTS The oral side of the papilla tumor location, protruded or mixed macroscopic type, and moderately-to-poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma based on biopsy specimens were significantly more frequent in submucosal invasive cancer than in intramucosal cancer (88% vs. 48%; 94% vs. 42%; 47% vs. 0%, respectively). From the relationship between the endoscopic features and the submucosal invasive cancer incidence, submucosal invasion risk was stratified as: (i) low-risk (risk, 2%), all lesions located on the anal side of the papilla and superficial macroscopic type on the oral side of the papilla; and (ii) high-risk (risk, 23%), protruded or mixed macroscopic type on the oral side of the papilla. Based on the biopsy specimens, all eight patients with moderately-to-poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma had submucosal invasive cancer. Furthermore, EUS was not associated with invasion depth's diagnostic accuracy improvements. CONCLUSION Optimal treatment indications for SNADAC can be selected based on the risk factors of submucosal invasion by tumor location, macroscopic type, and biopsy diagnosis.

Abstract
Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a rare and clinically distinct form of chronic pancreatitis affecting the pancreaticoduodenal groove comprising the head of the pancreas, duodenum, and the common bile duct. It is more prevalent in individuals in their 4-5th decade of life and disproportionately affects men compared with women. Excessive alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, pancreatic ductal stones, pancreatic divisum, annular pancreas, ectopic pancreas, duodenal wall thickening, and peptic ulcers are significant risk factors implicated in the development of GP. The usual presenting symptoms include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and jaundice. Establishing a diagnosis of GP is often challenging due to significant clinical and radiological overlap with numerous benign and malignant conditions affecting the same anatomical location. This can lead to a delay in initiation of treatment leading to increasing morbidity, mortality, and complication rates. Promising research in artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered immense interest in recent years. Due to its widespread application in diagnostic imaging with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity, AI has the potential of becoming a vital tool in differentiating GP from pancreatic malignancies, thereby preventing a missed or delayed diagnosis. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of GP, covering the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, radiological and endoscopic evaluation, management strategies, and future directions. This article also aims to increase awareness about this lesser known and often-misdiagnosed clinical entity amongst clinicians to ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) include low-grade adenoma (LGA) and high-grade adenoma or carcinoma (HGA/Ca) and are classified into two different epithelial subtypes, gastric-type (G-type) and intestinal-type (I-type). We attempted to distinguish them by endoscopic characteristics including magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI). METHODS Various endoscopic and M-NBI findings of 286 SNADETs were retrospectively reviewed and compared between G- and I-types and histological grades. M-NBI findings were divided into four patterns based on the following vascular patterns; absent, network, intrastructural vascular (ISV), and unclassified. Lesions displaying a single pattern were classified as mono-pattern and those displaying multiple patterns as mixed-pattern. Lesions showing CDX2 positivity were categorized as I-types and those showing MUC5AC or MUC6 positivity were categorized as G-types based on immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Among 286 lesions, 23 (8%) were G-type and 243 (85%) were I-type. More G-type lesions were located oral to papilla (91.3 vs. 45.6%, p < 0.001), and had protruding morphology compared to those of I-types (65.2 vs. 14.4%, p < 0.001). The major M-NBI pattern was ISV in G-type (78.2 vs. 26.3%, p < 0.001), and absent for I-type (0 vs. 34.5%, p = 0.003). Three endoscopic characteristics; location oral to papilla, protruding morphology, and major M-NBI pattern (ISV) were independent predictors for G-type. Mixed-pattern was more common in HGA/Ca than LGA for I-type (77.0 vs. 58.8%, p = 0.01); however, there was no difference for those in G-type. CONCLUSION Endoscopic findings including M-NBI are useful to differentiate epithelial subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little information about the relevance of extra-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma (EDA) subtypes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of EDA subtypes on surgical and oncological outcomes following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing PD for EDA from 2000 to 2019 were analyzed. Results were stratified by pathologic subtype (intestinal versus non-intestinal). Uni-and multivariable analyses were performed using standard statistical methods. RESULTS The study population consisted of 70 patients, of whom 49 (70%) had an intestinal phenotype. EDA with intestinal phenotype was more frequently proximal to the Ampulla of Vater, while non-intestinal EDA was more frequently found distally (76% vs. 33%, p = 0.002). Patients with intestinal EDA were less likely to experience severe morbidity, with decreased reoperation and unplanned Intensive Care Unit admission rates relative to non-intestinal subtypes (2% vs. 29% p = 0.002, and 2% vs. 19%, p = 0.007, respectively). The median follow-up post-pancreatectomy was 73 months. Intestinal EDA was associated with improved overall and disease-free survival, with 3-year and 5-year survival rates of 71% vs. 29% and 53% vs. 24%, respectively. (p = 0.019 and p = 0.025). CONCLUSION Intestinal-type EDA, which more often arises from supra-ampullary duodenum, was associated with better postoperative outcomes and improved survival.

Abstract
With the recent increase in the frequency of duodenal tumor detection, significant progress has been made in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. Although the first guidelines were issued in Japan, patient treatment varies widely among institutions. There is a need for improving the quality of endoscopic diagnosis and more curative and safer treatments. Biopsy is the standard diagnostic method; however, the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic biopsy is not so high. Therefore, the differentiation of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors from non-neoplastic lesions is being developed. The incidence of lymph node and distant metastases of duodenal epithelial tumors is extremely rare in intramucosal carcinomas, and they are considered good candidates for endoscopic treatment if the technical difficulties can be resolved. Adverse events associated with endoscopic treatment are greatly reduced at advanced facilities through novel resection and closure methods, and further improvements are expected in the future. Clarifying the risk of metastatic recurrence may lead to the development of more appropriate treatments and curative resection criteria.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) are very aggressive tumors with a high mortality rate. Pancreas and distal bile ducts share a common embryonic development. Hence, PDAC and dCCA exhibit similar histological features that make a differential diagnosis during routine diagnostic practice challenging. However, there are also significant differences, with potential clinical implications. Even if PDAC and dCCA are generally associated with poor survival, patients with dCCA seem to present a better prognosis. Moreover, although precision oncology-based approaches are still limited in both entities, their most important targets are different and include alterations affecting BRCA1/2 and related genes in PDAC, as well as HER2 amplification in dCCA. Along this line, microsatellite instability represents a potential contact point in terms of tailored treatments, but its prevalence is very low in both tumor types. This review aims at defining the most important similarities and differences in terms of clinicopathological and molecular features between these two entities, also discussing the main theranostic implications derived from this challenging differential diagnosis.

[PMID: 36626023 DOI: 10.1111/den.14514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, there have been significant advances in the endoscopic resection (ER) procedures of superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs). A preoperative endoscopic diagnosis is thus deemed necessary in determining the indication for subsequent ER. For the histologic and endoscopic diagnosis of SNADETs, understanding the mucin phenotype is inevitable. Recently, two diagnostic algorithms for the differential diagnosis of SNADETs from nonneoplastic lesions under magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging have been proposed. In addition, various endoscopic approaches have been proposed to differentiate low- and high-grade adenomas/carcinomas, including white light endoscopy, magnifying image-enhanced endoscopy, and endocytoscopy. These methods, however, have not been standardized with respect to the classification of their findings and the validation of their diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, there are still concerns with respect to the histologic criteria required to establish a SNADETs diagnosis. Standardization in the histologic and endoscopic diagnosis of SNADETs is needed.

Medullary carcinoma of the ampulla has distinct clinicopathologic characteristics including common association with microsatellite instability and PD-L1 expression. Hum Pathol 2023; 131:38-46. [PMID: 36502926 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2022.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Medullary carcinomas have not yet been fully characterized in the ampulla. Here, 359 ampullary carcinomas (ACs) were reviewed and 11 medullary-type carcinomas (3%) were found and analyzed. In addition to the diagnostic medullary pattern, 6 showed focal mucinous and 8 had focal abortive gland-like formations. They occurred in younger patients (57 versus 65 y; P = .02), had larger invasion size (mean, 3.2 versus 1.9 cm; P = .01), formed nodular polypoid or plaque-like tumors, and often lacked preinvasive component. In addition to the lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, they also had prominent eosinophils in 5 of 11 cases. Eight were papilla Vateri-NOS (not otherwise specified) tumors, 2 were ampullary-duodenal origin, 1 had a minor intra-ampullary papillary tubular neoplasm component, and none were ampullary-ductal. Although they had pushing-border infiltration, perineural and vascular invasion was common. They were strongly associated with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein deficient (7/11, 64%). The 5-yr survival rate (53%) appeared to be comparable with, and perhaps even better than that of nonmedullary ACs (47%), although this did not reach statistical significance (P = .47). Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression levels were assessed in 8, and all 4 that were MMR deficient were positive both by combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 and tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥1, and of the 4 MMR proficient cases, 3 were positive by CPS; 2 by TPS. Overall, only 1 of the 8 available for analysis failed to show PD-L1 positivity by CPS. In contrast, nonmedullary MMR-deficient carcinomas expressed PD-L1 in only 33% of tumors by CPS, and none by TPS. One medullary carcinoma was also EBV associated. Unlike 'medullary carcinomas' of the kidney, INI1 was retained in all 8 cases tested. In conclusion, medullary carcinomas are 3% of ACs, have a strong association with MMR-D, and may be less aggressive despite their larger size. PD-L1 expression appears to be closely associated with medullary ACs regardless of MMR status, and thus targeted therapies can be considered for all medullary carcinomas of this site.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The etiology of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) remains unclear. Recent studies have reported conflicting associations between duodenal tumor development and Helicobacter pylori infection or endoscopic gastric mucosal atrophy. As such, the present study aimed to clarify the relationship between SNADETs and H. pylori infection and/or endoscopic gastric mucosal atrophy. METHODS This retrospective case-control study reviewed data from 177 consecutive patients with SNADETs who underwent endoscopic or surgical resection at seven institutions in Japan over a three-year period. The prevalence of endoscopic gastric mucosal atrophy and the status of H. pylori infection were compared in 531 sex- and age-matched controls selected from screening endoscopies at two of the seven participating institutions. RESULTS For H. pylori infection, 85 of 177 (48.0%) patients exhibited SNADETs and 112 of 531 (21.1%) control patients were non-infected (p<0.001). Non-atrophic mucosa (C0 to C1) was observed in 96 of 177 (54.2%) patients with SNADETs and 112 of 531 (21.1%) control patients (p<0.001). Conditional logistic regression analysis revealed that non-atrophic gastric mucosa was an independent risk factor for SNADETs (odds ratio, 5.10; 95% confidence interval, 2.44-8.40; p<0.001). CONCLUSION Non-atrophic gastric mucosa, regardless of H. pylori infection status, was a factor independently associated with SNADETs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate symptoms, diagnostic methods, short- and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single center, retrospective, observational study of 52 consecutive patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma operated on with curative intent between 2006 - 2019. Duodenectomy as part of a hemipancreatoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy procedure was performed for ADAC (ampullary duodenal/intestinal adenocarcinoma) or NADAC (non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma). RESULTS Prevailing symptoms were obstructive jaundice in the ADAC group (P<0.0001) and bleeding in the NADAC group (P=0.005), with larger tumor size in patients with NADAC (P=0.001). Complication rate, morbidity and mortality were comparable. Primary total pancreatoduodenectomy predominated in the NADAC group, 16.6% vs. 2.9%, and salvage completion pancreatectomy in the ADAC group, 6% vs. 0%. Significant prognostic factors for OS were perineural invasion (P=0.006) and adjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.045) in the ADAC group, and for DFS the total number of resected lymph nodes (P=0.042) and lymph node ratio (P=0.031) in the NADAC group. Median OS is 21 months and 5-year survival 27.3% in the NADAC group and 41.5 months and 52% in the ADAC group. CONCLUSION Ampullary duodenal/intestinal adenocarcinomas are smaller than non-ampullary at diagnosis, with a higher rate of lymph node metastases, but with a better prognosis and long-term outcome in the presented cohort. Oral localisation of NADAC prevailed in the present cohort. Perineural invasion and postoperative oncological therapy are significant prognostic factors for OS in ADAC, but the total number of lymph nodes and lymph node ratio are significant prognostic factors for DFS in NADAC.

Abstract
A non-ampullary duodenal mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC), consisting of a conventional adenocarcinoma and a neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), is exceedingly rare. Moreover, mismatch repair (MMR) deficient tumors have recently attracted attention. The patient, a 75-year-old woman with epigastric pain and nausea, was found to have a type 2 tumor of the duodenum, which was diagnosed on biopsy as a poorly differentiated carcinoma. A pancreaticoduodenectomy specimen showed a well-defined 50 × 48 mm tumor in the duodenal bulb, which was morphologically composed of glandular, sheet-like, and pleomorphic components. The glandular component was a tubular adenocarcinoma, showing a MUC5AC-positive gastric type. The sheet-like component consisted of homogenous tumor cells, with chromogranin A and synaptophysin diffusely positive, and a Ki-67 index of 72.8%. The pleomorphic component was diverse and prominent atypical tumor cells proliferated, focally positive for chromogranin A, diffusely positive for synaptophysin, and the Ki-67 index was 67.1%. The sheet-like and pleomorphic components were considered NEC, showing aberrant expression of p53, retinoblastoma, and p16. Notably, all three components were deficient in MLH1 and PMS2. We diagnosed a non-ampullary duodenal MANEC with MMR deficiency. This tumor has a unique morphology and immunohistochemical profile, and is valuable for clarifying the tumorigenesis mechanism of a non-ampullary duodenal MANEC.

Abstract
Background: Duodenal gastric metaplasia (DGM) is considered a precancerous lesion. No data are available regarding its possible role as a risk factor for duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms (dNENs). Aims: To assess the prevalence of DGM in a cohort of dNENs. Methods: Subgroup analysis of a retrospective study including dNEN patients who underwent surgical resection between 2000 and 2019 and were observed at eight Italian tertiary referral centers. Results: 109 dNEN patients were evaluated. Signs of DGM associated with the presence of dNEN were reported in 14 patients (12.8%). Among these patients, nine (64.4%) had a dNEN of the superior part of the duodenum, one (7.1%) a periampullary lesion, three (21.4%) a dNEN located in the second portion of the duodenum, with a different localization distribution compared to patients without DGM (p = 0.0332). Ten were G1, three G2, and in one patient the Ki67 was not available. In the group with DGM, six patients (35.7%) were classified at stage I, five (28.6%) at stage II, three (21.4%) at stage III, and no one at stage IV. In the group without DGM, 20 patients (31%) were at stage I, 15 (15%) at stage II, 42 (44%) at stage III, and 19 (20%) at stage IV (p = 0.0236). At the end of the study, three patients died because of disease progression. Conclusions: our findings might suggest that DGM could represent a feature associated with the occurrence of dNEN, especially for forms of the superior part of the duodenum, which should be kept in mind in the endoscopic follow up of patients with DGM. Interestingly, dNEN inside DGM showed a more favorable staging, with no patients in stage IV. The actual relationship and the clinical relevance of this possible association require further clarification.

Abstract
Simple Summary Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor. Diagnosis is often obtained at an advanced stage and prognosis remains poor. The aim of this review is to report the recent epidemiological and risk factor data related to small bowel adenocarcinoma. New diagnostic tools are also described in this review. Abstract Adenocarcinomas of the small intestine are rare tumors but their incidence is increasing. There is a slight male predominance. The median age at diagnosis is the 6th decade. The most frequent primary location is the duodenum. There is no clearly identified environmental risk factor, but adenocarcinomas of the small intestine are associated in almost 20% of cases with predisposing diseases (Crohn’s disease, Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz–Jeghers syndrome and celiac disease).

Abstract
Background and study aims Management strategies for sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenoma with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) are not well established. This study aimed to analyze progression factors and determine suitable treatment strategies for LGD lesions. Patients and methods We retrospectively analyzed consecutive LGD lesions (n = 125) in patients followed up for ≥ 6 months (median, 45 months) and evaluated the changes in clinicopathological features during follow-up. All LGD lesions were classified into two groups: stable LGD (no increase or < 5 mm increase in tumor size, with unchanged histological dysplasia grade) and progressive LGD (≥ 5 mm increase in tumor size and/or progression to high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma). Results Eighty-six LGD were classified as stable and 39 as progressive. Location on the oral side of the papilla of Vater, large initial tumor size ( ≥ 10 mm), macroscopically complex type, red color, and nodularity were significantly frequent in progressive LGD than in stable LGD. In multivariate analysis, large initial tumor size (odds ratio [OR], 10.2; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 3.3-32.1; P < 0.001) and location on the oral side of the papilla of Vater (OR: 1.8, 95 % CI: 1.4-12.5; P = 0.012) were significant factors for progression. Moreover, initial tumor size < 5 mm rarely progressed (0%-3.9 %); however, initial tumor size ≥ 20 mm and 10-19 mm located on the oral side of the papilla of Vater had a high-risk progression rate (75.0-85.7 %). Conclusions According to the risk stratification of progression factors by initial tumor size and location, we can determine suitable treatment indications for LGD lesions.

Abstract
Duodenal polyps are found in 0.1 % to 0.8 % of all upper endoscopies. Duodenal adenomas account for 10 % to 20 % of these lesions. They can be sporadic or occur in the setting of a hereditary predisposition syndrome, mainly familial adenomatous polyposis. Endoscopy is the cornerstone of management of duodenal adenomas, allowing for diagnosis and treatment, primarily by endoscopic mucosal resection. The endoscopic treatment of duodenal adenomas has a high morbidity, reaching 15 % in a prospective study, consisting of bleeding and perforations, and should therefore be performed in expert centers. The local recurrence rate ranges from 9 % to 37 %, and is maximal for piecemeal resections of lesions > 20 mm. Surgical resection of the duodenum is flawed with major morbidity and considered a rescue procedure in cases of endoscopic treatment failures or severe endoscopic complications such as duodenal perforations. In this paper, we review the existing evidence on endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of non-ampullary duodenal adenomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal polyps and superficial mucosal lesions (DP/SMLs) are poorly characterised. AIMS To describe a series of endoscopically-diagnosed extra-ampullary DPs/SMLs. METHODS This is a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary referral Endoscopy Unit, including patients who had DPs or SMLs that were biopsied or removed in 2010-2019. Age, gender, history of familial polyposis syndromes, DP/SML characteristics were recorded. Histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular analyses were performed. RESULTS 399 non-ampullary DP/SMLs from 345 patients (60.6% males; median age 67 years) were identified. Gastric foveolar metaplasia represented the most frequent histotype (193 cases, 48.4%), followed by duodenal adenomas (DAs; 77 cases, 19.3%). Most DAs (median size 6 mm) were sessile (Paris Is; 48%), intestinal-type (96.1%) with low-grade dysplasia (93.5%). Among syndromic DAs (23%), 15 lesions occurred in familial adenomatous polyposis 1, two were in MUTYH-associated polyposis and one was in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (foveolar-type, p53-positive, low-grade dysplasia). Only one (3.3%) tubular, low-grade DA showed mismatch repair deficiency (combined loss of MLH1 and PMS2, heterogeneous MSH6 expression), and it was associated with a MLH1 gene germline mutation (Lynch syndrome). CONCLUSION DPs/SMLs are heterogeneous lesions, most of which showing foveolar metaplasia, followed by low-grade, intestinal-type, non-syndromic DAs. MMR-d testing may identify cases associated with Lynch syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies highlighted the clinicopathological heterogeneity of non-ampullary duodenal adenomas and adenocarcinomas, but the detailed process of the malignant transformation remains unclear. METHODS We analyzed 144 adenomas and 54 adenocarcinomas of the non-ampullary duodenum for immunohistochemical phenotypes, genetic alterations, and mismatch repair (MMR) status to probe their histogenetic relationship. RESULTS The median ages of patients with adenoma and adenocarcinoma were the same (66 years). Adenomas were histologically classified as intestinal-type adenoma (n = 124), pyloric gland adenoma (PGA, n = 10), gastric-type adenoma, not otherwise specified (n = 9), and foveolar-type adenoma (n = 1). Protein-truncating APC mutations were highly frequent in adenomas (85%), with the highest prevalence in intestinal-type adenomas (89%), but rare in adenocarcinomas (9%; P = 2.1 × 10-23). Close associations between phenotypic marker expression and genetic alterations were observed in adenomas, but not in adenocarcinomas, excluding the common association between GNAS mutations and MUC5AC expression. MMR deficiency was more frequent in adenocarcinomas (20%) than in adenomas (1%; P = 2.6 × 10-6). One MMR-deficient adenoma and three MMR-deficient adenocarcinomas occurred in patients with Lynch syndrome. Additionally, three other patients with an MMR-deficient adenocarcinoma fulfilled the revised Bethesda criteria. CONCLUSION The discrepant APC mutation frequency between adenomas and adenocarcinomas suggests that APC-mutated adenomas, which constitute the large majority of non-ampullary duodenal adenomas, are less prone to malignant transformation. Non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinomas frequently exhibit MMR deficiency and should be subject to MMR testing to determine appropriate clinical management, including the identification of patients with Lynch syndrome.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to clarify the endoscopic/clinicopathological features of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) based on their mucin phenotypes. METHODS We analyzed 62 SNADET lesions and classified them based on mucin phenotypic expression. Endoscopic and clinicopathological findings were compared according to mucin phenotypes. RESULTS Eleven lesions had the gastric phenotype (GP) and 43 lesions had the intestinal phenotype (IP). All GP lesions were located in the first portion of the duodenum, while most IP lesions (72.1%) were located in the second portion (p < 0.01). Tumor size was significantly larger in the GP than in the IP group (14.4 mm vs. 10.2 mm, p < 0.05). Reddish color (72.7% in GP vs. 37.2% in IP, p < 0.05), type 0-I (72.7% vs. 11.6%, p < 0.01), lobular/granular pattern (81.8% vs. 4.7%, p < 0.01), and category 4/5 in Vienna classification (81.8% vs. 30.2%, p < 0.01) were observed significantly more often in the GP than in the IP group. Regarding findings of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI), white opaque substance (22.2% in GP vs. 89.7% in IP, p < 0.01) and light blue crest (0% vs. 43.6%, p < 0.05) were significantly less frequently observed in the GP group. Oval-shaped marginal epithelium (66.7% vs. 17.9%, p < 0.01), dense pattern (55.6% vs. 2.6%, p < 0.01), and dilatation of the intervening part (100% vs. 12.8%, p < 0.01) were more frequently observed in the GP group. CONCLUSIONS SNADETs showed distinct endoscopic/clinicopathological features according to the mucin phenotype. Tumor location, coloration, macroscopic type, and endoscopic findings including M-NBI are useful to distinguish the mucin phenotypes of SNADETs.

Abstract
Objective The rare incidence of submucosal invasive non-ampullary duodenal carcinoma has led to scant information in literature; therefore, we compared the clinicopathological features between submucosal invasive carcinoma (SM-Ca), mucosal carcinoma (M-Ca), and advanced carcinoma (Ad-Ca). Materials We retrospectively analyzed 165 patients with sporadic non-ampullary duodenal carcinomas (SNADCs) from four institutions between January 2003 and December 2018. The SNADCs were divided to three groups according to histological diagnosis: SM-Ca, M-Ca, and Ad-Ca. The clinicopathological characteristics and mucin phenotypes were compared between groups. Results Among the 165 SNADCs, 11 (7%) were classified as SM-Ca, 70 (42%) as M-Ca, and 84 (51%) as Ad-Ca. We found that all SM-Ca (P = 0.013) and most Ad-Ca (P = 0.020) lesions were located on the oral-Vater; however, an almost equal distribution of M-Ca lesions was found between the oral- and anal-Vater. No significant difference was observed between the tumor diameter of M-Ca and SM-Ca; however, 45% (5/11) of SM-Ca were ≤10 mm. A total of 73% (8/11) of SM-Ca were classified as gastric phenotype and no lesions were classified as intestinal phenotype; whereas most M-Ca were classified as intestinal phenotype (67%, 8/12). Conclusions SM-Ca lesions were all located on the oral-Vater and were highly associated with the gastric mucin phenotype, which were different from the features of most M-Ca.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The incidence of identified superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) has been increasing with recent advances in endoscopic diagnosis. Nevertheless, the clinical features of SNADETs with malignant potential remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to clarify the clinical characteristics of high-grade SNADETs. METHODS A total of 328 SNADETs that had been endoscopically or surgically resected between January 2013 and April 2019 were identified from an endoscopic and pathological database. Clinical characteristics were compared between mucosal low-grade neoplasm (n = 154) and mucosal high-grade neoplasm/submucosal carcinoma (HGN/SMC, n = 174). RESULTS In univariate analysis, tumor size, pre-ampullary tumor location, red color, and rough/nodular surface were significantly associated with HGN/SMC. In multivariate analysis (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]), large (≥10 mm) tumor size (odds ratio: 4.5, 95% confidence interval: 2.6-7.7, P < 0.001) and pre-ampullary tumor location (odds ratio: 2.1, 95% confidence interval: 1.3-3.5, P = 0.004) were independent predictors for HGN/SMC. Analysis of histological phenotypes revealed that the proportion of tumors that were HGN/SMC was much greater for gastric-type tumors (21/23 lesions, 91%) than for intestinal-type tumors (150/302 lesions, 50%) (P < 0.001) and that all gastric-type tumors were located in the pre-ampullary portion. CONCLUSIONS Pre-ampullary location and large tumor size are independent predictors for HGN/SMC SNADETs. Pre-ampullary tumor location is significantly associated with gastric histological phenotype. These findings may help in decision making for endoscopic treatment, active indication for pre-ampullary tumor or tumor ≥10 mm, and understanding the pathophysiology of SNADETs.

Abstract
Most Crohn’s disease-associated small bowel carcinomas (CrD-SBCs) are diagnosed in advanced stage and have poor prognosis. To improve diagnosis and therapy, a better knowledge of tumour precancerous lesions, histotypes and prognostic factors is needed. We investigated histologically and immunohistochemically 52 CrD-SBCs and 51 small bowel carcinomas unrelated to inflammatory disease, together with their tumour-associated mucosa, looking for Crohn-selective changes. Histologic patterns and phenotypic markers potentially predictive of CrD-SBC histogenesis and prognosis were analysed. Cytokeratin 7 or MUC5AC-positive metaplastic changes were found in about half of investigated CrD-SBCs, significantly more frequently than in CrD-unrelated SBCs. They correlated with metaplastic changes of their associated mucosa, while being absent in normal ileal mucosa. Histologic patterns suggestive for progression of some cytokeratin 7 and/or MUC5AC-positive metaplastic lesions into cancer of the same phenotype were also observed. Patient survival analyses showed that tumour cytokeratin 7 or MUC5AC expression and non-cohesive histotype were adverse prognostic factors at univariable analysis, while cytokeratin 7 and non-cohesive histotype were also found to predict worse survival in stage- and age-inclusive multivariable analyses. Besides conventional dysplasia, hyperplasia-like non-conventional lesions were observed in CrD-SBC-associated mucosa, with patterns suggestive for a histogenetic link with adjacent cancer. In conclusion the cytokeratin 7 and/or MUC5AC-positive metaplastic foci and the non-conventional growths may have a role in cancer histogenesis, while tumour cytokeratin 7 and non-cohesive histotype may also predict poor patient survival. Present findings are worth being considered in future prospective histogenetic and clinical studies.

Abstract
The wider use of gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures has led to an increased detection of small intestinal preneoplastic and neoplastic epithelial lesions, most of which are identified in the duodenum and ampullary region. Like their malignant counterparts, small intestinal glandular precursor lesions, which include adenomas and hamartomas, may arise sporadically or be associated with hereditary tumor syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis, MUTYH-associated polyposis, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis syndrome, and Cowden syndrome. In addition, dysplastic, preinvasive lesions have been observed adjacent to small bowel adenocarcinomas complicating immune-related disorders, such as celiac or Crohn’s disease. Adenomatous lesions may exhibit an intestinal-type, gastric-type, or, very rarely, serrated differentiation, related to different molecular pathogenetic mechanisms. Finally, in the background of multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 syndrome, precursor neuroendocrine growths have been described. In this review we offer a comprehensive description on the histo-molecular features of the main histotypes of small bowel epithelial precursors lesions, including: (i) sporadic adenomas (intestinal-type and gastric-type; non-ampullary and ampullary); (ii) syndromic adenomas; (iii) small bowel dysplasia in celiac and Crohn’s disease; (iv) serrated lesions; (v) hamartomatous lesions; and (vi) neuroendocrine precursor lesions.

Frequency and clinicopathologic associations of DNA mismatch repair protein deficiency in ampullary carcinoma: Routine testing is indicated. Cancer 2020; 126:4788-4799. [PMID: 32857459 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.33135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Revised: 06/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The significance of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in ampullary cancers (ACs) has not been established. METHODS In total, 127 ACs with invasive carcinomas measuring ≥3 mmthat had adequate tissue were analyzed immunohistochemically. RESULTS MMR loss was detected in 18% of ACs (higher than in colorectal cancers). Twelve tumors with MLH1-PMS2 loss were negative for BRAF V600E mutation, suggesting a Lynch syndrome association. MMR-deficient tumors (n = 23), comparedwith MMR-intact tumors (n = 104), showed a striking male predominance (male:female ratio, 4.7). Although the deficient tumors had slightly larger invasion size (2.7 vs 2.1 cm), they also had more expansile growth and less invasiveness, including less perineural invasion, and they ultimately had lower tumor (T) classification and less lymph node metastasis (30% vs 53%; P = .04). More important, patients who had MMR-deficient tumors had better clinical outcomes, with a 5-year overall survival rate of 68% versus 45% (P = .03), which was even more pronounced in those who had higher Tclassification (5-year overall survival, 69% vs 34%; P = .04). MMR deficiencyhad a statistically significant association with medullary phenotype, pushing-border invasion, and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and it occurred more frequently in ampullary-duodenal type tumors. Programed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) levels analyzed in the 22 MMR-deficient ACs revealed that all medullary carcinomas were positive. Nonmedullary MMR-deficient carcinomas expressed PD-L1 in 33% of tumors cells according to the criteria for a combined positive score ≥1, but all were negative according to the tumor proportion score≥1 method. CONCLUSIONS In ACs, MMR deficiency is even more frequent (18%) than in colon cancer and often has a Lynch-suggestive profile, thus routine testing is warranted. Male gender, pushing-border infiltration, ampullary-duodenal origin, medullary histology, and tumor-related inflammation have a significantly higher association with MMR deficiency. MMR-deficient tumors have less aggressive behavior. PD-L1 expression is common in medullary-phenotype ACs, thus immunotherapy should be considered at least for this group.

Clinicopathological features and risk factors for lymph node metastasis in early-stage non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma. J Gastroenterol 2020; 55:754-762. [PMID: 32533301 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-020-01696-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Management strategies for primary non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma (NADAC) in early stage are not well established given its low incidence. This study aimed to elucidate clinicopathological features of early NADAC, including risk for lymph nodal metastasis (LNM). METHODS In total, 166 patients with early NADAC underwent initial treatment at our institution between 2006 and 2019, of whom 153 had intramucosal (M-) and 13 had submucosal (SM-) NADAC. These endoscopic and pathological features were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors for LNM were evaluated in 46 early NADAC patients who underwent surgery with lymph node dissection. RESULTS Compared with M-NADAC, SM-NADAC was significantly more frequently located at the proximal side of the papilla, with mixed elevated and depressed macroscopic type, histologically poorly differentiated tumor and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (85% vs. 47%, P = 0.009; 54% vs. 5%, P < 0.001; 23% vs. 0%, P < 0.001; and 46% vs. 0%, P < 0.001, respectively). The frequency of LNM was significantly higher in SM-NADAC than in M-NADAC (5/12, 42% vs. 0/34, 0%; P < 0.001). In SM-NADAC, the frequency of LNM was higher in poorly differentiated than in well to moderately differentiated tumors (3/3, 100% vs. 2/9, 22%) and higher in tumors with LVI than in those without LVI (3/5, 60% vs. 2/7, 29%). Regarding invasion depth, 2 of 4 patients with SM invasion (400 ≤ × < 500 µm) showed LNM. However, in this study, no patients developed very shallow SM invasion (0 < × < 400 µm). CONCLUSIONS SM-NADAC showed high LNM risk. Surgical treatment with regional lymph node dissection is recommended as a treatment strategy for SM-NADAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) and intestinal-type papilla of Vater adenocarcinoma (it-PVA) are rare malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. Current therapeutic options are translated nowadays from treatment strategies for patients with colorectal cancer due to histopathological similarities.
AIM To retrospectively investigate the clinical outcome of patients with DA and it-PVA.
METHODS All patients with DA and it-PVA diagnosed between 2000 and 2017 were included at two academic centers in the Netherlands. All patients with histopathologically-confirmed DA or it-PVA were eligible for inclusion. Clinical outcome was compared between DA and it-PVA per disease stage. In the subgroup of stage IV disease, survival after local treatment of oligometastases was compared with systemic therapy or supportive care.
RESULTS In total, 155 patients with DA and it-PVA were included. Patients with it-PVA more often presented with stage I disease, while DA was more often diagnosed at stage IV (P < 0.001). Of all patients, 79% were treated with curative intent. The median survival was 39 mo, and no difference in survival was found for patients with DA and it-PVA after stratification for disease stage. Seven (23%) of 31 patients with synchronous stage IV disease underwent resection of the primary tumor, combined with local treatment of oligometastases. Local treatment of metastases was associated with an overall survival of 37 mo, compared to 14 and 6 mo for systemic therapy and supportive care, respectively.
CONCLUSION Survival of patients with DA and it-PVA is comparable per disease stage. These results suggest a potential benefit for local treatment strategies in selected patients with oligometastases, although additional prospective studies are needed.

Abstract
The tumorigenesis of non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs) might be different between the oral and anal sides of Vater's papilla. We conducted an immunohistological review to elucidate the clinicopathological features according to the tumor location and phenotypic classification. A review of an institutional database identified 121 patients with 125 superficial NADETs. NADETs were histologically evaluated and classified into the intestinal or gastric type based on immunohistochemical analysis. Clinicopathological factors were compared based on the tumor location and phenotype. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors for gastric-type NADETs. According to location analysis, the mucin phenotype was significantly different (oral side, intestinal-type 64.8%, gastric-type 35.3%; anal side, intestinal-type 87.3%, gastric-type 12.7%; P < 0.01). Although the incidence of adenoma was significantly predominant in the intestinal type (75.3%), most gastric-type NADETs were cancerous (64.3%). Notably, most gastric-type NADETs were adenocarcinomas even when the tumor size was ≤0 mm. In multivariate analysis, tumor location on the oral side (odds ratio [OR], 4.42), villous structure (OR, 6.44), and low tumor gland density (OR, 9.49) were independent predictors of gastric-type tumors. Gastric-type NADETs significantly differ from intestinal-type NADETs in terms of tumor location, morphology, and biology.

Abstract
Non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma (NADC) is extremely rare. Little is known about its clinicopathological and molecular features or its management. Herein we retrospectively analyzed the cases of 32 NADC patients, focusing on microsatellite instability (MSI), genetic mutations, CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), and immunostaining including mucin phenotype and PD-L1 expression. The incidence of MSI, KRAS/BRAF/GNAS mutations and CIMP was 51.6%, 34.4%/3.1%/6.5% and 28.1%, respectively. PD-L1 expression was seen in 34.4% of patients. No significant associations between clinicopathological features and KRAS/BRAF/GNAS genetic mutations or CIMP were found. Histologically non-well-differentiated-type NADCs and those in the 1st portion of the duodenum were significantly associated with later stages (stages III–IV) (P = 0.006 and P = 0.003, respectively). Gastric-phenotype NADCs were frequently observed in the 1st portion and in late-stage patients; their cancer cells more frequently expressed PD-L1. Histologically, the non-well-differentiated type was an independent predictor of PD-L1 expression in cancer cells (OR 25.05, P = 0.04) and immune cells (OR 44.14, P = 0.02). Only late-stage disease (HR 12.23, P = 0.01) was a prognostic factor for worse overall survival in a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Our observation of high proportions of MSI and PD-L1 expression may prompt the consideration of immune checkpoint inhibitors as a new treatment option for NADCs.

Abstract
Background Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AA) originates from either intestinal (INT) or pancreaticobiliary (PB) epithelium. Different prognostic factors of recurrence have been identified in previous studies. Methods In 91 AA patients of the AGEO retrospective multicentre cohort, we evaluated the centrally reviewed morphological classification, panel markers of Ang et al. including CK7, CK20, MUC1, MUC2 and CDX2, the 50-gene panel mutational analysis, and the clinicopathological AGEO prognostic score. Results Forty-three (47%) of the 91 tumours were Ang-INT, 29 (32%) were Ang-PB, 18 (20%) were ambiguous (Ang-AMB) and one could not be classified. Among these 90 tumours, 68.7% of INT tumours were Ang-INT and 78.2% of PB tumours were Ang-PB. MUC5AC expression was detected in 32.5% of the 86 evaluable cases. Among 71 tumours, KRAS, TP53, APC and PIK3CA were the most frequently mutated genes. The KRAS mutation was significantly more frequent in the PB subtype. In multivariate analysis, only AGEO prognostic score and tumour subtype were associated with relapse-free survival. Only AGEO prognostic score was associated with overall survival. Conclusions Mutational analysis and MUC5AC expression provide no additional value in the prognostic evaluation of AA patients. Ang et al. classification and the AGEO prognostic score were confirmed as a strong prognosticator for disease recurrence.

Identification of marker genes and pathways specific to precancerous duodenal adenomas and early stage adenocarcinomas. J Gastroenterol 2019; 54:131-140. [PMID: 29951927 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-018-1489-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2017] [Accepted: 06/22/2018] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanism behind the pathogenesis and carcinogenesis of these neoplasms is not fully understood. The objective of this study was to identify genetic markers and pathways specific to precancerous duodenal adenomas and early stage adenocarcinomas through gene expression analysis. METHODS Gene expression profiling was performed in 4 pairs of duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas and corresponding matched normal tissue. Genes with consistent expression differences were identified and confirmed in 7 independent pairs. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to characterize gene expression profiles of duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas, together with immunohistochemical staining of candidate oncogenic genes. RESULTS 626 probes consistently demonstrated over a twofold expression difference between tumor-normal pairs. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of genes with the most prominent difference in expression between tumors and normal mucosa (KLK7, KLK6, CEMIP, MMP7, KRT17, LGR5, G6PC, S100G, APOA1) validated the results of gene expression analysis. GSEA demonstrated a strong association between duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas with colorectal adenomas (p < 10-5) and gene expression patterns seen after APC gene knockout (p < 10-5), suggesting that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a crucial role in the carcinogenesis of these neoplasms. Immunohistochemical staining of an independent group of duodenal adenomas confirmed over-accumulation of β-catenin in 80.0% (16/20). CONCLUSIONS Precancerous duodenal adenomas and early stage adenocarcinomas demonstrate gene expression characteristics with a strong resemblance to colorectal adenomas. The results of this study strongly suggest that upregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is the major factor involved in the initial stages of the carcinogenesis of duodenal adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
Background Sporadic nonampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm in which poor prognosis is often associated with delayed diagnosis. Objective A case-control study was designed to evaluate the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of patients with nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumours (NADETs). Methods Patients with NADETs were chronologically divided into a discovery and a validation sets. Two age- and sex-matched control individuals for each case in the discovery set were randomly selected from individuals without NADET. A prediction model for the presence of NADET, constructed in the discovery set, was evaluated in the validation set. Results In total, 368 adenomas, 81 adenocarcinomas, and 314 controls were analysed. Current smoking, Barrett oesophagus, fundic gland polyps, history of malignant disease, and absence of dyslipidaemia were independently associated with the presence of NADET. The combination of these five factors enabled significant discrimination for NADET in the bulb with a sensitivity of 0.81 in the validation set. We also showed that duodenal adenocarcinomas in the bulb had greater invasive potential than adenocarcinomas in the second portion. Conclusion The presence of a duodenal tumour in the bulb could be predicted by clinical and endoscopic findings, which helps improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Duodenal epithelial polyps are reported in 1.5% to 3% of individuals referred for upper endoscopy. Most duodenal epithelial polyps are asymptomatic and nonneoplastic; however, a small subset is neoplastic and may progress to adenocarcinoma. Recent advances in immunohistochemical and molecular techniques have helped further characterize these polyps, shedding light on their origin, classification, and risk of progression to adenocarcinoma. OBJECTIVE.— To provide a comprehensive clinicopathologic review of nonneoplastic and neoplastic duodenal epithelial polyps, with particular emphasis on recent developments in classification schemes and risk stratification based upon immunohistochemical and molecular profiles. DATA SOURCES.— This review is based on peer-reviewed literature and the authors' experiences. CONCLUSIONS.— In this review we provide an update on the clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of duodenal epithelial polyps and discuss the surveillance recommendations and treatment options available. Particular attention should be placed on recognizing duodenal adenomas with intestinal, gastric, and serrated phenotype, as they have an increased risk of malignant transformation if not completely excised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sporadic nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs) are uncommon, and thus their clinicopathological features have not been fully assessed. AIMS In this study, we have analyzed a series of early sporadic NADETs, focusing on various immunohistological features. METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of 68 patients with endoscopically resected sporadic NADETs. Associations between immunohistological features and clinicopathological features were statistically analyzed. RESULTS The 68 patients consisted of 46 men (68%) and 22 women (32%) with a mean age of 60.7 ± 12.2 years (range 37-85 years). The 68 tumors were composed of 39 adenomas (57%) and 29 early-stage adenocarcinomas (43%). Duodenal adenocarcinomas were larger in size than adenomas and had papillary architecture in their pathological diagnosis with statistical significance. Duodenal adenocarcinomas also demonstrated a significantly higher expression of gastric markers (MUC5AC and MUC6) and a higher MIB-1 index. Duodenal adenomas were contrastively apt to express intestinal markers (MUC2, CDX1 and CDX2). Of the 68 cases analyzed, there were only 3 tumors positive for p53 staining, all of which were adenocarcinoma. When 7 submucosal invasive cancers and 21 intramucosal cancers were compared, submucosal invasion was positively associated with expression of MUC5AC. Also, submucosal invasion showed strong association with double-positivity of MUC5AC and MUC6. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that immunohistochemical evaluation is useful for predicting malignant potential of NADETs, especially focusing on the expression of gastrointestinal markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aimed to investigate an association between clinicopathological features, including immunohistochemical mucin phenotypes, and magnifying chromoendoscopic findings with crystal violet staining (ME-CV) in non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs). METHODS A total of 55 patients with NADET were divided into 3 groups by mucin phenotype: intestinal, gastrointestinal, or gastric. ME-CV findings were classified into 4 patterns: convoluted, leaf-like, reticular/sulciolar, and pinecone. The clinicopathological features and ME-CV findings were compared among the mucin phenotypes. RESULTS Tumors of the gastric type were located in the duodenal bulb (p < 0.001), and contained pyloric gland adenoma (p < 0.001) more frequently than the other types. White-light endoscopy indicated that milk-white mucosa was less frequent in tumors of the gastric type than in those of the gastrointestinal type (p = 0.006) and the intestinal type (p < 0.001). ME-CV findings were significantly different between the gastric type and the other type (p = 0.028). Totally, 5 of 8 tumors of the gastric type manifested a pinecone pattern, 4 of which were compatible with pyloric gland adenoma. CONCLUSIONS The endoscopic findings of NADETs differ according to mucin phenotype. A pinecone pattern under ME-CV may be characteristic of NADETs of the gastric type, especially pyloric gland adenoma.

Abstract
The small intestine represents 75% of the length and 90% of the absorptive surface area of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), yet only 2% of digestive system cancers occur at this site. Adenocarcinoma accounts for half of small bowel malignancies. There have been a number of important recent advances in our understanding, classification and treatment of small bowel tumours. Over recent years, ampullary tumours have become recognised as a form of small bowel carcinoma, distinct from head of pancreas and lower biliary tract tumours. This is reflected in separate TNM systems and increasing interest in separating intestinal from pancreatobiliary subtypes. The recognition of the importance of microsatellite (MSI) status and the advent of molecular pathology has also changed our approach to these neoplasms.

Abstract
Non-familial small bowel carcinomas are relatively rare and have a poor prognosis. Two small bowel carcinoma subsets may arise in distinct immune-inflammatory diseases (celiac disease and Crohn's disease) and have been recently suggested to differ in prognosis, celiac disease-associated carcinoma cases showing a better outcome, possibly due to their higher DNA microsatellite instability and tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes. In this study, we investigated the histological structure (glandular vs diffuse/poorly cohesive, mixed or solid), cell phenotype (intestinal vs gastric/pancreatobiliary duct type) and Wnt signaling activation (β-catenin and/or SOX-9 nuclear expression) in a series of 26 celiac disease-associated small bowel carcinoma, 25 Crohn's disease-associated small bowel carcinoma and 25 sporadic small bowel carcinoma cases, searching for new prognostic parameters. In addition, non-tumor mucosa of celiac and Crohn's disease patients was investigated for epithelial precursor changes (hyperplastic, metaplastic or dysplastic) to help clarify carcinoma histogenesis. When compared with non-glandular structure and non-intestinal phenotype, both glandular structure and intestinal phenotype were associated with a more favorable outcome at univariable or stage- and microsatellite instability/tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte-inclusive multivariable analysis. The prognostic power of histological structure was independent of the clinical groups while the non-intestinal phenotype, associated with poor outcome, was dominant among Crohn's disease-associated carcinoma. Both nuclear β-catenin and SOX-9 were preferably expressed among celiac disease-associated carcinomas; however, they were devoid, per se, of prognostic value. We obtained findings supporting an origin of celiac disease-associated carcinoma in SOX-9-positive immature hyperplastic crypts, partly through flat β-catenin-positive dysplasia, and of Crohn's disease-associated carcinoma in a metaplastic (gastric and/or pancreatobiliary-type) mucosa, often through dysplastic polypoid growths of metaplastic phenotype. In conclusion, despite their common origin in a chronically inflamed mucosa, celiac disease-associated and Crohn's disease-associated small bowel carcinomas differ substantially in histological structure, phenotype, microsatellite instability/tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte status, Wnt pathway activation, mucosal precursor lesions and prognosis.

Abstract
Recently, immunohistochemistry-based classifications of ampullary carcinomas have been proposed (Ang and colleagues [PMID: 24832159]; Chang and colleagues [PMID: 23439753]). In this study, the prognostic value of Ang/Chang panel markers (CK20, MUC1, MUC2, CDX2) as well as other markers (CK7, MUC5AC, and MUC6) were tested on full-faced sections of 136 ampullary carcinoma resections with substantial (>5 mm) invasion. Immunohistochemistry was correlated with both histologic classification (intestinal [INT], pancreatobiliary [PB], or nontubular based on ≥3/5 observer agreement) and clinical outcome. No prognostic correlation was found with MUC1, CDX2, MUC2 or CK20 despite testing with different quantitative cutoffs. CK7 and CK20 were nonspecific. Ang classification had reasonable correlation with histologic subclassification of tubular cases as INT versus PB with high specificity but low sensitivity and ambiguous category was large (29%) and included also some classical cases. Prognostically, Ang classification approached but did not reach statistical significance, even when their large "ambiguous" group was eliminated and only tubular cases were analyzed (Ang-INT vs. Ang-PB; P=0.08). The Chang panel, in which the definition of the INT subcategory is not clearly defined, only marginally reached prognostic significance when tested as MUC1+/CDX2- versus MUC1-/CDX2+ and only by Wilcoxon test (P=0.0485) but 31% of the cases were "unclassifiable." The only individual marker that was found to have direct and strong correlation with the clinical outcome was MUC5AC (not used in the Ang or Chang panels), with statistically significant survival differences found with various cutoffs tested (for 20% cutoff, 5-y survival, 68% vs. 31%; P=0.0002). In addition, MUC5AC significantly stratified the histologically PB and INT cases (P=0.01 and 0.03, respectively), as well as Ang's ambiguous and Chang's unclassified cases (P=0.006 and 0.007, respectively). In conclusion, the widely used putative lineage markers, MUC1/MUC2/CK7/CK20/CDX2, do not seem to have direct/significant prognostic correlation either individually or in combination of Ang and Chang panels. Ang panel is helpful as an adjunct in determining the cell lineage with a few caveats. MUC5AC proves to be a significant independent prognosticator and should be incorporated into evaluation of ampullary carcinomas.

Abstract
AIMS Extra-ampullary duodenal adenoma (EADA) is a rare condition with poorly described clinicopathological details. In this study, we aimed to characterize EADA clinicopathologically. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective review of 44 serial cases of EADA. Each EADA was categorized as either gastric-type (n = 5) or intestinal-type (n = 39). All gastric-type adenomas were located in the first portion of the duodenum and exhibited a pedunculated shape. Gastric-type adenomas were classified into two subtypes: pyloric gland and foveolar. The former consisted of mucin 6 (MUC6)-positive glands covered with MUC5AC-positive cells, whereas nearly all the latter consisted of MUC5AC-positive cells. When EADAs were categorized into high and low grades, approximately 40% (16 of 44) were high-grade. The high-grade adenomas were significantly larger than the low-grade adenomas (19.4 ± 8.6 mm versus 11.8 ± 5.1 mm, P = 0.021), and all adenomas greater than 20 mm in largest diameter were categorized as high-grade adenomas. Among 16 individuals who underwent total colonoscopy before or after duodenal mucosal resection, nine had a colorectal neoplasm, and all nine duodenal lesions were of the intestinal phenotype. CONCLUSIONS We clarified the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric- and intestinal-type EADAs. EADAs greater than 20 mm at the largest diameter were consistently high-grade, and are thought to have the potential to progress to adenocarcinoma. These findings should be helpful for the clinical management of EADA.

Abstract
Objective Epithelial tumors less commonly occur in the duodenum than in the stomach or large intestine. The clinicopathological characteristics of duodenal epithelial tumors remain a matter of debate. We therefore studied resected specimens to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of duodenal epithelial tumors. Materials and methods Among duodenal epithelial tumors resected endoscopically or surgically in our hospital, we studied the clinicopathological characteristics of 110 adenomas or intramucosal carcinomas. The grade of atypia of all tumors was classified into 3 groups according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2010 classification. The tumors were immunohistochemically evaluated to determine the frequency of differentiation toward fundic glands. Results As for patient characteristics, there were 76 men (75.2%) and 25 women (24.8%), with a median age of 65 years (range, 34 to 84). The tumors most commonly arose in the first to second part of the duodenum. Many lesions were flat, and the median tumor diameter was 8.0 mm. The lesions were classified into 2 types according to mucin phenotype: intestinal-type tumors (98 lesions, 89.1%) and gastric-type tumors (12 lesions, 10.9%). Intestinal-type tumors were subdivided into 2 groups: tubular-type tumors (91 lesions, 82.7%) and tubulovillous-type tumors (7 lesions, 6.4%). Gastric-type tumors were classified into 2 types: foveolar type (3 lesions, 2.7%) and pyloric gland-type (PG) tumors (9 lesions, 8.2%). The grade of atypia was significantly higher in gastric-type tumors (p<0.01). PG tumors were gastric-type tumors characterized by pyloric glands and findings suggesting differentiation toward fundic glands. Conclusions About 10% of the duodenal tumors had a gastric-type mucin phenotype. Gastric-type tumors showed high-grade atypia. In particular, PG tumors showed similarities to PG tumors of the stomach, such as differentiation toward fundic glands.

A Case of Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma with Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma of the Duodenal Bulb: A Case Report. Int Surg 2017.

Abstract
Duodenal cancers are rare. Histopathologically, most duodenal cancers are adenocarcinoma. Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare tumor more commonly found in the stomach than at other sites in the digestive tract. SRCC is extremely uncommon in the duodenum, with most of these tumors occurring in the ampulla. Until now, there are few case reports of duodenal cancers with SRCC. To accumulate case reports, we report a rare case of nonampullary duodenal bulb SRCC. A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with melena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a duodenal bulb ulcer. He was treated with a proton pump inhibitor. However, 1 month later, he was readmitted to our hospital with epigastric pain and nausea. A second EGD examination showed an ulcer at the duodenal bulb. Biopsies taken from the ulcer showed SRCC. Distal gastrectomy and duodenal bulb resection were performed. Histologic examination of the specimen showed a type 4 lesion located from the duodenal bulb to the pyloric antrum. The tumor was composed of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (por) with SRCC. The distal margin of the duodenal bulb was invaded with tumor. Therefore, pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. One year after the initial operation, he is alive and had no relapse. We described a rare case of por with SRCC of the duodenal bulb. It is important to bear in mind that an ulcer following an abnormal clinical course should be biopsied, and we have to select a suitable operation in cases of duodenal bulb cancer.

Non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas: clinicopathologic analysis of 47 cases and comparison with ampullary and pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Mod Pathol 2017; 30:255-266.

Abstract
Literature on non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas is limited. We analyzed 47 resected non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas. Histologically, 78% were tubular-type adenocarcinomas mostly gastro-pancreatobiliary type and only 19% pure intestinal. Immunohistochemistry (n=38) revealed commonness of 'gastro-pancreatobiliary markers' (CK7 55, MUC1 50, MUC5AC 50, and MUC6 34%), whereas 'intestinal markers' were relatively less common (MUC2 36, CK20 42, and CDX2 44%). Squamous and mucinous differentiation were rare (in five each); previously, unrecognized adenocarcinoma patterns were noted (three microcystic/vacuolated, two cribriform, one of comedo-like, oncocytic papillary, and goblet-cell-carcinoid-like). An adenoma component common in ampullary-duodenal cancers was noted in only about a third. Most had plaque-like or ulcerating growth. Mismatch repair protein alterations were detected in 13% (all with plaque-like growth and pushing-border infiltration). When compared with ampullary (n=355) and pancreatic ductal (n=227) carcinomas, non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas had intermediary pathologic features with mean invasive size of 2.9 cm (vs 1.9, and 3.3) and 59% nodal metastasis (vs 45, and 77%). Its survival (3-, 5-year rates of 57 and 57%) was similar to that of ampullary-duodenal carcinomas (59 and 52%; P=0.78), but was significantly better than the ampullary ductal (41 and 29%, P<0.001) and pancreatic (28 and 18%, P<0.001) carcinomas. In conclusion, non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas are more histologically heterogeneous than previously appreciated. Their morphologic versatility (commonly showing gastro-pancreatobiliary lineage and hitherto unrecognized patterns), frequent plaque-like growth minus an adenoma component, and frequent expression of gastro-pancreatobiliary markers suggest that many non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas may arise from Brunner glands or gastric metaplasia or heterotopic pancreatobiliary epithelium. The clinical behavior of non-ampullary-duodenal carcinoma is closer to that of ampullary-duodenal subset of ampullary carcinomas, but is significantly better than that of ampullary ductal and pancreatic cancers. The frequency of mismatch repair protein alterations suggest that routine testing should be considered, especially in the non-ampullary-duodenal carcinomas with plaque-like growth and pushing-border infiltration.
