Poorly cohesive duodenal carcinoma mixed with signet ring cell carcinoma is very rare, and no cases have been reported. When distant metastasis occurs, it is very easy to be misdiagnosed. We report the first case of a 52-year-old man with poorly cohesive carcinoma of the duodenum mixed with signet ring cell carcinoma with systemic metastasis. The process of its diagnosis and differential diagnosis is highlighted.
