Metastasis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma to the duodenum: a case report.
Article in Discover oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an uncommon site for metastasis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). When it is involved, it typically manifests with GI bleeding, anemia, malabsorption, and abdominal pain. Endoscopic evaluation and histopathological confirmation are essential for definitive diagnosis. Currently, there is limited literature on this phenomenon, with all reported cases indicating a poor prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of duodenal metastasis from an untreated cSCC patient with a 3-year history. This woman initially presented with abdominal pain and GI bleeding. Despite prompt diagnostic workup and active treatment, the outcome was unfavorable. Noncontrast CT and contrast-enhanced CT strongly suggested a malignant duodenal mass. To obtain a definitive diagnosis, oral small bowel endoscopy was performed, which directly visualized a carcinoma within the duodenum. Histopathological examination of the endoscopic biopsy specimen confirmed the presence of invasive carcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis and exclusion of other primary sites by clinical and radiological examinations suggested that the duodenal tumor was likely a metastasis from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma involving retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The patient ultimately died from massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
conclusionThe gastrointestinal tract is a rare site of metastasis for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, often presenting with nonspecific clinical symptoms. This case highlights the critical importance of early and aggressive management of the primary tumor.
