title: Minor Papilla Adenoma Management in Patients with Pancreas Divisum and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis.
abstract: Several case reports on endoscopic resection of minor papilla adenomas exist in the literature. However, there are no reported cases of endoscopic resection in patients with minor papilla adenomas with associated familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and pancreas divisum. We report a case of a minor papilla adenoma in a patient with FAP and pancreas divisum. The case demonstrates a new association between these disease processes. Defining pancreatic ductal anatomy prior to endoscopic intervention is essential. In addition, we demonstrate the safety and feasibility of endoscopic management of minor papilla tumors in patients with FAP and associated pancreas divisum.
