RESUMEN
Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare disease whose symptoms are usually vomit, weight loss and lack of appetite; appearing more frequently in men in their sixties. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is the technique chosen for its diagnosis, also relying on other techniques such as endoscopic ultrasonography or computed tomography for the extension study. In this regard we report the case of a patient diagnosed of bulbar duodenal adenocarcinoma in our hospital.

El adenocarcinoma duodenal es una entidad poco prevalente que suele cursar con clínica de vómitos, pérdida de peso e hiporexia; presentándose más frecuentemente en varones en la sexta década de la vida. La endoscopia digestiva alta supone la técnica de elección para el diagnóstico, siendo útiles para el estudio de extensión tanto la ecoendoscopia como la tomografía computarizada (TC). En relación a esta rara patología presentamos el caso de un paciente diagnosticado de neoplasia de bulbo duodenal en nuestro centro...

El esprúe colágeno es una entidad poco prevalente que cursa con diarrea persistente con pérdida de peso y malabsorción por afectación del intestino delgado, principalmente duodeno y yeyuno proximal, necesitando para el diagnóstico la presencia de una clínica y una histología compatible con atrofia y depósito subepitelial de colágeno. Su etiología no es totalmente conocida, aunque su origen más propuesto es el autoinmune, ya que está ampliamente relacionada con la enfermedad celíaca e incluso se ha propuesto que se trate de una evolución de celiaquía refractaria a dieta sin gluten. En relación a esta incertidumbre presentamos el caso de una paciente con diarrea malabsortiva e importante repercusión clínica por esprúe colágeno, la cual tuvo una buena respuesta a corticoides orales (prednisona), pero hubo que añadir azatioprina. Además mejoró inicialmente con nutrición parenteral central domiciliaria...
Collagenous sprue is a rare disease that goes with persistent diarrhea, weight loss and bad absortion, because it affects the small intestine, mainly duodenum and proximal jejunum. Diagnosis is made by having clinical signs and histological proof of atrophy and subepitelial deposit of collagenous material. Its etiology is not known completely, it is proposed that the origin is autoimmune because its relationship with celiac disease. Also there is a proposal that is a celiac evolution to gluten free diet. Is because this is not clear that we present a case of a patient with bad absorptive diarrhea and a clinical expression of collagenous sprue, that had a great clinical response to corticosteroids (prednisone) but we had to add azatioprine. Also, initially improved with home parenteral nutrition center...
