It has been thought for many years that gastric adenocarcinoma almost never crosses the pylorus. Rokitanski in 1861 made the classic statement that the pyloric served as a barrier to duodenal dissemination of gastric cancer. Although this theory was generally accepted, but direct spread of gastric carcinoma into the duodenum has been reported, most recently in 1965. We report two recent cases of gastric cancer spreading into the duodenum and review the literature.

Crohn's disease of the duodenum is a rare disorder that should be considered in patients with distal Crohn's disease in whom significant upper gastrointestinal symytoms develop. A combination of diagnostic tools, including attentive history taking.and appropriate radiographic and endoscopic studies, should be applied to make the diagnosis, Although not always confirmatory, careful histologic study if adequate biopsy material may be helpful. Medical treatment should be the treatment of choice for all patients with nonobstructing Crohn's disease of the duodenum and is similar to that of Crohn's disease elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract. If obstruction develops, bypass surgery is indicated. We experienced a case of Crohn's disease of the duodenum and reported with the review of the literature.
