Abstract

Currently, malignancy is the most common cause of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) accounting for 50-80% of the cases. Additionally, GOO occurs in 15-25% of patients with pancreatic cancer. This case report is an interesting image of an enormously dilated stomach in a pancreatic cancer patient due to duodenal obstruction secondary to pancreatic cancer.
