Benign tumors of the small bowel are rare. They present with many different manifestations depending on the size and location, and also cause a variety of symptoms that are often nonspecific. These include abdominal pain, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal bleeding that may be melena or hematemesis. Most of the time patients are asymptomatic and the lesions are discovered as an incidental finding. When bleeding occurs, and it may be severe in certain situations, the patient may develop signs of anemia, such as dyspnea, fatigue, and even high-output cardiac failure. The authors present a patient who was evaluated for melena and who was found to have a duodenal polyp that proved to be a Brunner's gland adenoma on pathology.

A 29-year-old man with a previously known Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) was admitted for epigastric pain, emesis and weight loss due to both intestinal intussusception causing bowel obstruction and obstructive pancreatitis. The patient had cholestasis with an enlarged common bile duct on imaging. Because duodenal and/or pancreatic cancer was suspected due to weight loss, the pancreatic and bile duct obstruction, and the increased risk of small intestine and pancreatic adenocarcinoma in patients with PSJ, a pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed a duodenal polyp with epithelial misplacement invading the ampulla and compressing the main bile duct. Twenty months after surgery, there was no relapse of symptoms or cholestasis. This is the first case showing a direct role of pseudo-invasive duodenal harmatomas in the development of biliary obstruction and chronic obstructive pancreatitis.

Duodenal duplication cyst is a rare anomaly, totaling only 4% to 12% of gastrointestinal duplications, and is usually encountered during infancy or in early childhood. Most are commonly located posterior to the first or second portion of the duodenum. Presenting signs and symptoms include vomiting, decreased oral intake, periumbilical tenderness, abdominal distention, obstructive jaundice, acute pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The traditional treatment of a duodenal duplication cyst has been complete surgical resection, but very few cases of endoscopic treatment have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of duodenal duplication cyst that was manifested by a duodenal polyp.
