Duodenal polyps: diagnosis and management

R R Reddy, B M Schuman, R J Priest

    Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Duodenal polyps are often missed by X-rays, but endoscopic removal is effective for larger or suspicious lesions like villous adenomas, which carry a risk of malignancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopy
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Duodenal polyps are uncommon gastrointestinal findings.
    • Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial due to potential malignancy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of upper gastrointestinal X-rays versus duodenoscopy for duodenal polyps.
    • To characterize the types and outcomes of duodenal polyps identified.
    • To assess the efficacy of endoscopic polypectomy for duodenal lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 45 duodenoscopies performed between 1973 and 1978.
    • Comparison of findings with upper gastrointestinal X-ray results.
    • Histopathological analysis of biopsied polyps.
    • Documentation of surgical and endoscopic interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Upper gastrointestinal X-rays missed small duodenal polyps but identified larger lesions or masses.
    • Histological diagnoses included adenomatous polyps, villous adenomas, Brunner's gland hyperplasia, lipomas, and carcinoid tumors.
    • Villous adenomas demonstrated characteristic endoscopic features, aiding diagnosis.
    • Pedunculated polyps were safely removed via endoscopic snare excision.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic evaluation is superior to X-ray for detecting small duodenal polyps.
    • Villous adenomas require excision due to malignant potential.
    • Endoscopic snare excision is a safe and effective treatment for pedunculated duodenal polyps.
