We reported a case of duodenal duplication accompanied by lipoma, which was histologically examined after endoscopic polypectomy. A patient, 65 years old man, was diagnosed as duodenal polyp when he visited to a hospital to examine anemia in March 1990. Endoscopic polypectomy was undergone in January, 1991 based on the diagnosis of submucosal tumor with cystic lesion as a result of further examinations, including EUS. Histologically, the tumor was duodenal duplication including the gastric surface epithelium like mucosa in the cystic lesion at the head of the tumor and accompaning by lipoma of the base. Except thus case, any case of duodenal duplication with lipoma has not been reported as far as our investigation.
