  • Title: [Villous tumor of the doudenum (author's transl)].
    Author: Arnaud JP, Miclo S, Doffoel M, Adloff M.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1977; 114(6):461-70. PubMed ID: 608852.
    Abstract:
    Villous tumors of the duodenum are rare, but treatment may be problematic because of their association with invasive adenocarcinoma. One case of villous tumor of the duodenum is described and 44 others reported cases are reviewed. Diagnosis may be made by radiographic barium contrast evaluation of the duodenum, especially with the addition of air contrast hypotonic studies and by fibro-optic endoscopy with biopsies. 32 p. cent of villous tumors of the duodenum are associated with adenocarcinoma. Local excision is the treatment of choice for benign lesions. Duodenectomy or pancreatico-duodenectomy are recommended for tumors which include invasive carcinoma.
