The case of a 58-year-old woman with a primary adenocarcinoma of the duodenojejunal junction and an extraluminal growth is reported. The patient's chief complaint had been lumbago and emaciation, and a tumor in her left upper abdomen was found. Hypotonic duodenography showed a filling defect with ulceration of the duodenojejunal junction. Angiography revealed irregular vessels and a slight tumor stain. A CT scan further revealed that this tumor had invaded into the abdominal aorta with paraaortic lymphadenopathies.
