The mucosal rosette: a peri-ampullary pseudotumour within a duodenal diverticulum.
Two cases are described in which a filling defect within a duodenal diverticulum was suggestive of a peri-ampullary neoplasm. In each case direct inspection showed no abnormality. It is suggested that the radiological findings are caused by prominent mucosal folds around the diverticular neck.
