The simultaneous development of a lymphoma and an adenocarcinoma of the stomach in a patient is reported. This occurrence is exceedingly rare. Moreover, the presence of a third neoplasm in the axillary lymph nodes, manifested as secondaries from a squamous cell carcinoma, makes this case unique in the literature. The concept and postulated causes of multiple malignant tumours are discussed.
Juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula were identified at duodenal endoscopy in 42 (9%) of 470 consecutive patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Patients with duodenal diverticula had a higher frequency of gallstones disease (52% versus 35%) and of relapsing or chronic pancreatitis (26% versus 14%) and a higher frequency of recurrent bile duct calculi after biliary surgery (12% versus 2%). The association between gallstone disease and duodenal diverticula was corroborated by a second study showing a significantly higher frequency of gallstones in 350 patients who had a duodenal diverticulum on barium-meal X-ray examination.
