We report a case of recurrent villous tumors (1989-1995) of the second duodenum. The diagnosis of these rare tumors was obtained by endoscopy. Risk of recurrence and degeneration raise the question of surgical or endoscopic treatment.

Background: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is an uncommon and severe disorder caused by large hypersecretory tumors located in the distal colorectal area. Excessive secretion from adenomas is an unusual clinical manifestation that leads to severe electrolyte and fluid depletion, subsequently resulting in kidney injury. Successful treatment relies on quick and cooperative decision-making for timely intervention.

Background: Despite reports indicating that polyps proximal to the splenic flexure have higher rates of metachronous colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), the role of adenoma location on surveillance recommendations remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association between index polyp location and post-colonoscopy CRC among participants of the Minnesota Colon Cancer Control Study (MCCCS).
Methods: The MCCCS randomized 46,551 patients 50-80 years to usual care, annual, or biennial screening with fecal occult-blood testing (FOBT).

PGA has been increasingly recognized as a histologically and molecularly distinct entity; however, its endoscopic features have not been precisely described. This study aims to investigate the endoscopic characteristics of duodenal PGA, including the association of their putative precursors, Brunner's gland hyperplasia (BGH), and gastric epithelial heterotopia/metaplasia (GEM/H).
