This is a case report of successful endoscopic resection (ER) of a bleeding duodenal lipoma. An 85-year-old woman who was diagnosed with asymptomatic subepithelial tumor of the duodenum 3 years ago visited the emergency room with hematemesis and was admitted to our hospital. Emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed bleeding from an ulcer on the superior aspect of a subepithelial tumor measuring about 20 mm in diameter, at the superior duodenal angle. The ulcer was in the active stage (A1), with a visible vessel. The bleeding was controlled by ER of the tumor using a snare. The final pathological diagnosis was duodenal lipoma with mucosal ulceration. The patient showed no signs of bleeding for 10 days after the procedure; subsequently, she was discharged and followed up for regular checkups.

Department of Radiology, Mohammed Vth Military hospital, Ryad street, 10010 Rabat, Morocco.
Article Synopsis
- - Duodenal lipoma is a rare tumor with most patients showing no symptoms, often discovered incidentally during imaging exams like CT scans.
- - A case study is presented of a 77-year-old man who experienced malaise and dyspnea, leading to the incidental finding of a duodenal lipoma on a CT scan.
- - Diagnosis involves modern imaging techniques, endoscopy, and EUS, while treatment options may vary from observation to surgical removal based on the lesion's characteristics.
Benign Tumors and Tumor-Like Conditions of Ampulla and Small Intestine: The PathologyOutlines.com Review.

Article Synopsis
- The small intestine and ampulla can develop various benign tumors and tumor-like diseases that may resemble cancer, highlighting the need for pathologists to have a comprehensive understanding of these conditions.
- Key examples of these benign issues include Brunner gland lesions, different types of polyps, and various mesenchymal proliferations like inflammatory fibroid polyps and leiomyomas.
- The review aims to clarify the histopathological features of these benign conditions to aid pathologists in making accurate diagnoses and differentiating them from malignant tumors.

Misdiagnosis of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and the challenge of mimicking lesions: imaging diagnosis and differentiation strategies.
Abdom Radiol (NY)
September 2024
Johns Hopkins Hospital, 1800 Orleans St., Baltimore, MD, 21287, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The increase in pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs), especially intraductal papillary neoplasms (IPMNs), is largely due to more advanced imaging techniques like CT and MRI, leading to frequent incidental findings.
- Surveillance for IPMNs is crucial because of their cancer risk, but their similar appearance to benign lesions can cause diagnostic errors, which may result in unnecessary treatments and strain on healthcare resources.
- The paper focuses on differentiating IPMNs from similar lesions (like serous cystadenomas and others) by examining their imaging features and characteristics, aiming to improve diagnosis accuracy and patient care while reducing healthcare burdens.
Clinical course of asymptomatic duodenal subepithelial lesions.
Korean J Intern Med
July 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: There is limited knowledge regarding the management of duodenal subepithelial lesions (SELs) owing to a lack of understanding of their natural course. This study aimed to assess the natural course of asymptomatic duodenal SELs and provide management recommendations.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with duodenal SELs and followed up for a minimum of 6 months were retrospectively investigated.
