pancreatitis
and was found to have a villous adenoma encasing the pancreatic duct at the duodenal papilla. The case is important because it suggests that patients with polyposis coli may be at risk for significant nonmalignant problems from duodenal polyps, particularly if polyps exhibit villous histology and occur at the duodenal papilla.
