Abstract

Recently, endoscopic polypectomy has become a routine procedure. But, the report of endoscopic removal of the duodenal polyp was rare, compared to that of the gastric and colonic polyp. We reported 14 cases of the duodenal polypoid lesions removed endo scopically. All endoscopic polypectomies were performed safely and all resected specimens could be studied histologically. These lesions consist of 5 cases of adenoma, 4 of brunneroma, 2 of hyperplastic polyp, 1 of fibroma, hemangioma and early cancer. Of these cases, 3 with massive bleeding and 1 with early cancer were treated successfully. In summary, endoscopic polypectomy in the duodenum was valuable for definite diagnosis and treatment of the duodenal polypoid lesions.
