  • Title: Recurrent villous adenoma of the duodenum.
    Author: Weiss JB, Semerdjian GG.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1986 Feb; 90(2):440-2. PubMed ID: 3940917.
    Abstract:
    A patient is presented who in 1977 had a villous adenoma of the duodenum presenting with a diarrheal syndrome. Surgical removal of the polypoid mass lesion, which was pathologically a benign villous adenoma, resulted in resolution of her diarrhea. She remained asymptomatic until 6.5 yr later when diarrhea recurred. Radiographic and endoscopic examinations revealed a large villous adenoma within the proximal duodenum. After endoscopic polypectomy, her diarrhea promptly ceased. This is the first reported case of diarrhea associated with a villous adenoma of the duodenum.
