The patient was a 70-year-old male whose chief complaints were obstructive jaundice and weight loss. Abdominal imaging studies showed a 2.5 cm sized mass at the distal common bile duct, which was suggestive of bile duct cancer. Eccentric enhancing wall thickening in the transverse colon was also shown, suggesting concomitant colon cancer. A colonoscopy revealed a lumen-encircling ulcerofungating mass in the transverse colon, that was pathologically proven to be adenocarcinoma. The bile duct pathology was also adenocarcinoma. Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and extended right hemicolectomy were performed under the diagnosis of double primary cancers. Postoperative histopathologic examination revealed moderately differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of transverse colon cancer, and mucinous adenocarcinoma of the distal common bile duct. Immunohistochemical staining studies showed that the bile duct cancer had metastasized from the colon cancer. The patient recovered uneventfully from surgery and will be undergoing chemotherapy for three months.

Background: Pylorus preserving (PP) pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has several advantages in terms of shorter operation time and improved nutritional status but with an increased risk for delayed gastric emptying. Methods: We performed a retrospective study on all patients in which PD was performed from May 2012 to May 2018. It was analyzed early postoperative outcomes and the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) syndrome for patients with pylorus PP PD technique and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG). Results: There were 47 PD, in which PP technique was performed in 42 cases. The tumour location was in the pancreatic head (n=21, 44.68%), periampullary (ampulla of Vater) (n=14,29.78%), distal bile duct (n=7,14.89%), duodenum (n=2, 4.25%) and advanced right colon cancer (n=3, 6.38%). There were 10 cases (21.2%) of grade III-V complications, grade A pancreatic fistula (PF)8 cases (17%), grade B in 3 cases (6.4%) and grade C in 1 case (2.12%). DGE was encountered in 17 cases (36.17%), grade A 2 cases (4.25%), grade B in 4 cases (8.5%) and grade C in 2 cases (4.25%). Biliary fistula occurred in 3 cases (6.4%) and in 4 cases relaparotomy was needed. Conclusions: The results of our study are concluding with the previous studies, the addition of PG to PP PD does not increase the risk of DGE.
