Record number:

Adverse Occurrence type: 
MPHO Type: 
Estimated frequency: 
This is a donor-derived duoudenal adenocarcinoma that arose 24 years after pancreas/kidney transplant with duodenal to bladder drainage. As such, it is not considered a "donor trnsmitted" tumor. No specific recommendations exist for donor duodenal adenocarcinoma as of early 2023.
Time to detection: 
24 years after combined kidney-pancreas transplant with bladder drainage. 24 years after Kidney (KI) +Pancreas (PA) Transpalntation TX with bladder drainage anstomosed of donor duodenum to recipient's urinary bladder. (PA failed after 2 yrs. with patial function, KI failed after 21 yrs. with retransplant after 23 yrs), after 24 yrs, PA-ectomy including duodenum (probably R0), reconstruciton of bladder, decrease of immunusppresion, one cyle of capecditabine/oxaliplatin (then discontinued due to side effects), after 11months (25 yrs): cystoscopy + imaging without signs of malignancy.:
Alerting signals, symptoms, evidence of occurrence: 
Microhematuria led to bladder biopsy showing a 5 mm tubular adenoma with focal high grade dysplasia. Concern for unsampled cancer led to resection which disclosed ductal adenocarcinoma arising in the donor duodenal segment.
Demonstration of imputability or root cause: 
Adenocarcinoma was restricted to the donor duodenal segment and was consistent with a primary tumor.
Imputability grade: 
2 Probable

Expert comments for publication: 
This is a donor derived tumor that arose 24 years after transplant, a time period that is more typically associated with urothelial carcinomas arising near the site of duodenal-bladder anastomoses. The presence of dysplasia in this small adenoma prompted resection, which uncovered invasive adenocarcinoma. Resection margins were free of tumor; the patient received an abbreviated course of chemotherapy due to intolerance. He remained free of tumor at the time of the report, approximately 2 years after tumor diagnosis. The authors note that this form of drainage, which peaked in the early 1990s, may be complicated by tumor formation. Although routine screening is not cost-effective, they suggest continuing attention to these patients.
