Locally advanced carcinoma in sigmoid colon and rectum often invades adjacent organs in the pelvis; whereas local invasion of the pancreas or duodenum is rare. Consequently combined hemicolectomy and pancreatico-duodenectomy in the treatment of locally advanced colorectal carcinoma is uncommon. To the best of our knowledge, there are currently only three such cases reported in the Chinese literature to date. This paper reports five cases of synchronous right hemicolectomy （RH） and pancreatico-duodenectomy （PD） for the treatment of locally advanced right colon carcinoma.
