  • Title: [Hamartoma of the duodenum: a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding].
    Author: Reichenbach-Klinke E, Miksch T, Orner R, Bergelt S, Sterk P.
    Journal: Chirurg; 2010 Dec; 81(12):1115-7. PubMed ID: 20428835.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 34-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with melena and hematemesis. Endoscopy showed a giant pedunculated polyp of the duodenum as the source of bleeding. The 10 cm long tumor was resected transduodenally by open surgery and the histological examination revealed it to be a hamartoma. This case demonstrates a very rare benign tumor of the duodenum, its possible clinical manifestation and treatment options.
