Popis: Primary adenocarcinoma of the fourth portion of the duodenum (D-IV) is reported infrequently than other parts of the duodenum. Its diagnosis is often late because of non-specific symptoms and signs. We encountered a 48-year-old male patient who was diagnosed as duodeno-duodenal intussusception, underwent segmental duodenal resection with duodenojejunal anastomosis and confirmed as adenocarcinoma of D-IV. He received adjuvant chemotherapy and is doing well at 1 year of follow-up. This report describes about the rare case of isolated adenocarcinoma of the D-IV presented as intussusception which is never reported before and successfully treated by segmental resection of the duodenum and jejunum.
