Villous adenoma of the duodenum. Case report.
Two rare cases of villous adenoma of the duodenum are described. Obstructive jaundice was the presenting clinical feature. Histologically the tumour was benign in both cases. Local excision was performed. One year later both patients were free from recurrence, but one was treated for gastric adenocarcinoma after 2 years. The literature is reviewed.
