Abstract
We report a case of malignant triton tumor of the duodenum, which is extremely rare. A submucosal malignant tumor was detected in the duodenum of a 49-year-old woman. The tumor was completely resected by performing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pathological examination revealed that the lesion was a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation, i.e., a malignant triton tumor. Long-term survival has been achieved with no recurrence at 8.5 years after surgery.
