Abstract
A 54-year-old male with a medical history of diabetes mellitus type 2 and tonsil cancer treated with radiochemotherapy years previously was admitted to hospital due to one-month progressive diarrhea, epigastric pain and 14-kg weight loss. Laboratory tests revealed mild anemia (Hb 10.8 g/dl). Upper endoscopy (UE) showed multiple ulcerated lesions with raised edges and a hard consistency on biopsy, being more evident at the duodenum and with a lower frequency and smaller diameter in the stomach.
