Abstract
A case of duodenal lipoma removed by endoscopic polypectomy was reported. A 53-year-old female was admitted to our clinic with complaints of epigastric distress. Upper GI barium meal and endoscopic examination revealed a polypoid lesion in the duodenal bulb. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed, and the polyp was successfully removed without any accidental complication. The resected tumor was 16×13×12mm in size and histologically diagnosed as a benign submucosal lipoma. The cases of duodenal tumors with endoscopic polypectomy so far reported in Japan were reviewed and the significance and problems of endoscopic duodenal polypectomy were discussed.
