Abstract

The authors report 3 cases of benign duodenal tumors and one case of duodenal cancer.


In two cases the benign tumors were adenomatous polyps, in one case with signs of dysplasia. One case of benign tumor was a lipoma.


All the three benign tumors were removed through a duodenotomy, in one case associated with a sphincteroplasty.


The case of duodenal cancer, arisen in a patient operated since 24 years with a gastric resection, was treated with a Whipple technique but for the very old age and the bad health conditions, the patient died in 11th post-operative day for myocardium infarct.
