A case of pedunculated tubulovillous adenoma of the duodenum.
Tubulovillous adenoma of the duodenum is a rare tumor. Almost all of the lesions have been reported endoscopically and are recognized as small, sessile, polypoid lesions. This article discusses an unusual case of pedunculated tubulovillous adenoma of the duodenum in a 48-yr-old woman. The lesion was discovered on the upper part of the descending duodenum during a gastric mass survey. The polyp was removed using an electrocautery snare and was histologically diagnosed as tubulovillous adenoma.
