Abstract:
A patient with transpyloric prolapse of a pedunculated polypoid gastric carcinoma is reported. Only three previous cases have been reported in the international literatures. However, in Japan, 33 cases of prolapsed gastric carcinoma have been reported during the past 30 years. Prolapsed gastric carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of localized intraluminal filling defects in the duodenal bulb. Endoscopy and biopsy are essential for correct diagnosis.
