- Abstract
- Malignant duodenocolic fistula is a rare complication of advanced right colon cancer. The surgeon becomes involved not only with the cancer lesion, but also with the physiologic complications, such as electrolyte imbalance and malnutrition. We experienced 2 cases of duodenocolic fistulas arising from right side colon cancers. One of the patients was surgically treated by right hemicolectomy and pancreatico-duodenectomy and another case was lost to follow-up. We report these cases with a brief review of the literature.
