Duodenal mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare type of small bowel carcinoma. It is not commonly encountered; hence little knowledge exists about its presentation, diagnosis, and management. The diagnosis is mostly made by either esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or intra-operatively. Some of the main symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, or signs and symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, this is a serious condition that healthcare providers and patients should be aware of to reduce its severity and improve prognosis. We present a case of duodenal mucinous adenocarcinoma in a patient with immunodeficiency virus.
十二指肠黏液腺癌是一种罕见的小肠癌类型。它并不常见；因此，关于其临床表现、诊断和治疗的了解甚少。诊断大多通过食管胃十二指肠镜检查（EGD）或在手术中进行。一些主要症状包括腹痛、恶心、呕吐、体重减轻或上消化道出血的体征和症状。因此，这是一种严重的疾病，医疗服务提供者和患者都应该予以关注，以减轻其严重程度并改善预后。我们报告一例免疫缺陷病毒患者的十二指肠黏液腺癌病例。
