Villous adenoma of the duodenum: diagnosis and management

ABSTRACT

Villous adenoma is common in the segment 2 of the duodenum. It commonly developed in people at age of 60 years. Diagnosis was made base on findings of gastrointestinal radiography, endoscopy and biopsy. If it is possible, should perform endoscopic ultrasound, duodenopancreatic CT scan and collect several biopsy specimens to determine the surgical approach: duodenopancreatic mass removal, duodenectomy, duodenostomy with tumor removal or endoscopic tumor removal
