Abstract
Introduction

Primary small bowel adenocarcinoma is an uncommon tumour, with nonspecific symptoms that cause a delay in the diagnosis and consequently a worse outcome for the patient. We analyse our experience in the management of this disease.

Material and method

We performed a retrospective study of our experience with 17 patients diagnosed with primary small bowel adenocarcinoma, excluding all the cases suggesting secondary involvement of the small bowel from an adenocarcinoma in other locations.

Results

We analysed 9 females (53%) and 8 males (47%) with a mean age of 61.8 years. Tumour location was duodenum (8 cases), jejunum (5), and ileum (4). Those with duodenal tumours underwent 4 pancreaticoduodenectomies, 3 gastroenterostomies, and 1 diagnostic biopsy; 6 bowel resections with lymphadenectomy, 2 en-bloc resections, and 1 by-pass were performed on those with jejuno-ileal tumours. There were complications in 3 patients (18%). General survival was 18 months; in duodenal and jejunal tumours it was 15 months versus 58 in ileal ones (P=.048). Survival was 48 months in the absence of lymph node metastases versus 11 in those with (P=.067). In those tumours infiltrating the retroperitoneum, survival was 15 months compared to 23 when not affected (P=.09).

Conclusions

Curative treatment consists of small bowel resection. Retroperitoneal infiltration was a non-resectability criterion in our series. Ileal location is associated with a better outcome. Advanced stages, lymph node metastases, non-resected cases, and retroperitoneal infiltration tended to be associated with a poor prognosis in our group.

Resumen
Introducción

El adenocarcinoma primario de intestino delgado es un tumor poco frecuente, con síntomas inespecíficos, lo que condiciona un retraso en el diagnóstico que conlleva peor pronóstico. Evaluamos nuestra experiencia en el manejo de este trastorno.

Material y método

Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de 17 pacientes diagnosticados de adenocarcinoma primario de intestino delgado, excluyendo los casos en que la afección de intestino delgado era secundaria a un adenocarcinoma de otra localización.

Resultados

Estudiamos a 9 mujeres (53%) y 8 varones (47%) con una media de edad de 61,8 años. Los tumores se originaron en duodeno (8 casos), yeyuno (5) e íleon (4). En los tumores duodenales se realizaron 4 duodenopancreatectomías cefálicas, 3 gastroenteroanastomosis y 1 biopsia diagnóstica; en los tumores yeyunoileales se realizaron 6 resecciones intestinales, 2 resecciones multiorgánicas y una derivación digestiva. Aparecieron complicaciones postoperatorias en 3 pacientes (18%). La supervivencia total fue 18 meses; la de tumores duodenales y yeyunales, 15 meses, frente a 58 de los ileales (p=0,048). En ausencia de metástasis ganglionares, la supervivencia fue 48 meses, frente a 11 con ganglios positivos (p=0,067). En tumores que no infiltraban el retroperitoneo fue 23 meses, frente a 15 en los que sí (p=0,09).

Conclusiones

El tratamiento curativo consiste en la resección del segmento intestinal. La infiltración retroperitoneal fue un criterio de irresecabilidad en nuestros pacientes. La localización en ileon es un factor de buen pronóstico. Los estadios avanzados, las metástasis ganglionares, los casos no resecados y la infiltración del retroperitoneo tienden a asociarse a peor pronóstico en nuestro estudio
