Abstract

Duodenal tumors are rare. The symptoms are mostly uncharacteristic upper abdominal pain or chronic anemia on account of occult blood loss. Tumors of mesenchymal or neurogenic origin may lead to dangerous bleeding from ulceration of the mucosa. Malignant tumors of the duodenum are often histologically adenocarcinomas and should be treated by partial or total pancreatectomy. If located below the papilla or at the duodenojejunal flexure, sometimes partial duodenal resection with end-to-end anastomosis may be performed. Benign tumors should be removed by local excision. In cases of duodenal malignancy, early detection and radical resection should help to increase the survival rate of the patients.
