    Abstract:
    A case of early carcinoma of the distal second part of the duodenum, in a 74-year-old man, is presented. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed for diagnosis of a common bile duct stone. During this procedure, small elevated lesions were found incidentally in the distal second part of the duodenum, and the histologic examination of a biopsy specimen showed adenocarcinoma. The lesions were removed by wedge resection, and pathologic examination revealed duodenal carcinoma limited to the lamina propria. Although carcinoma of the duodenum, other than of the ampulla of Vater region, is very rare, it is sometimes possible to detect asymptomatic early tumors. However, this requires careful observation of the entire duodenal mucosa, including that of the distal duodenum, at duodenoscopy.
