A Unique Presentation of Concurrent Duodenal and Peritoneal Metastasis From Head and Neck Cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Metastatic disease to the duodenum or peritoneum from a primary head and neck carcinoma is an extremely rare presentation. We report the case of a 68-year-old male with a history of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who presented with worsening nausea, abdominal pain, postprandial vomiting, and early satiety for over two months. Prior to this presentation, he was evaluated for several postauricular lumps, with computerized tomography (CT) scan showing a supraglottic mass and an excisional biopsy of a postauricular nodule confirming metastatic HNSCC. A CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis during the admission showed worsening lymphadenopathy in the mediastinum and hilar regions, as well as new ascites and peritoneal lesions. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a large erythematous nodular lesion in the second portion of the duodenum occupying approximately one-third of the lumen circumference. Similar to the previously worked up nodule, histology from the duodenal mass biopsies showed metastatic poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma that was strongly positive for p63 and p16. Thus, we report the first case of concurrent duodenal and peritoneal metastasis from an HNSCC.
