A Case of the Gastric Polyp that Plorapsed into the Duodenal Bulb

Abstract

Through X-ray examination I have recently encountered a gastric polyp case which could be misdiagnosed as a shadow defect of a duodenal tumor in the duodenal bulb. The patient a male of 57 years had complained of feeling an inflation in the abdomen for the past several months. In this case the X-ray film showed a clear defect in the duodenal bulb and in anather film appeared the defekt in the prepyloric region. Surgical operation revealed to be a thumb sized gastric polyp which had grew in the prepyloric region and histologic examination proved it to be a benign adenoma.
