## TL;DR

A rare case of pancreatic cancer recurrence in the duodenal wall 11 years after surgery is reported.

## Contribution

This is the first documented case of intraduodenal wall recurrence following distal pancreatectomy for PDAC.

## Key findings

- Intraduodenal wall recurrence occurred 11 years after distal pancreatectomy for PDAC.
- Late recurrence of PDAC can manifest in unusual locations such as the duodenal wall.
- This case highlights the long-term surveillance needs for PDAC patients.

## Abstract

Although late recurrence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is rare, it has been observed in local or regional lymph nodes, as well as in the liver, lung, or peritoneum. We report the first case of intraduodenal wall recurrence 11 years after distal pancreatectomy for PDAC.
