ABSTRACT

Intestinal malrotation is the result of an abnormal physiological herniation of the midgut during embryo development. Since there exists a number of different malrotation types, the diagnosis of this condition is challenging. Concurrent intestinal malrotation and duodenojejunal junction cancer is extremely rare. Here we present the case of a 71-year-old patient who underwent segmental resection for duodenojejunal junction adenocarcinoma that concurrently presented with small bowel malrotation.
