Question

question 29 (mandatory) (2 points)
which of the following is not a common symptom and/or complication associated with a duodenal ulcer?
vomiting
hematemesis
epigastric pain
carcinoma

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Vomiting: Can occur with duodenal ulcers due to irritation or obstruction risk.
• Hematemesis: Bleeding (a complication) can lead to vomiting blood, common in ulcer complications.
• Epigastric pain: A typical symptom of duodenal ulcers, often relieved by food.
• Carcinoma: Duodenal ulcers rarely progress to cancer (carcinoma). Gastric ulcers have a slight cancer risk, but duodenal ulcers are not commonly associated with carcinoma development.

Answer:

D. Carcinoma
