Primary duodenal carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy, and experience with chemotherapeutic regimes in this condition is limited. We report a case of duodenal carcinoma with liver metastases in which complete remission was achieved with 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy. The patient remains well 30 months after completing treatment.
