Duodenal villous adenoma.
Duodenal villous adenomas are extremely rare (1/5th of small bowel tumors). In view of their strategic position and risk of malignancy, they require definitive management in specialized care units. We report a case of a 35 year old female patient with a large duodenal (5 cm) villous adenoma causing intussusception of duodenum (a phenomenon rare because of its anatomic location & fixation).
