Left paraduodenal hernia in an adult complicated by ascending colon cancer: a case report

World J Gastroenterol. 2006 Mar 21;12(11):1795-7. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v12.i11.1795.

Abstract

Paraduodenal hernia is the most common internal hernia. The clinical symptoms of paraduodenal hernia may be intermittent and nonspecific. Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan currently plays an important role in the evaluation and management of paraduodenal hernia before surgical operation. We report one unique case of preoperatively diagnosed left paraduodenal hernia complicated by advanced ascending colon cancer and reviews of Japanese literature.
