“…These findings are so unspecific that tuberculosis is almost never considered. Peptic ulcer disease, neoplasm of the duodenum or pancreas, or Crohn's disease is often suspected on that basis [7]. CT has limited value.…”

“…The discovery of granulomas in a duodenal stricture, in the absence of caseating lesions, and especially when a sinus tract is present, makes it difficult to distinguish duodenal tuberculosis from Crohn's disease, and may delay proper antituberculous treatment and prompt the unfortunate introduction of a corticotherapy [7]. Surgical intervention is indicated in such cases of duodenal tuberculosis because the obstruction occurs as a result of stricture formation [4, 8].…”

Duodenal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity. The authors report and emphasize the lack of special clinical, radiological and endoscopic signs of duodenal tuberculosis. The diagnosis is affirmed, at laparotomy, out of the findings of peritoneal granulations or histology of lymphatic nodes. We report our experience of two cases of duodenal tuberculosis presenting with proximal intestinal obstruction and review the available literature.

Sporadic duodenal polyps are uncommon, being found in up to 5% of patients referred for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. They are often discovered incidentally and are usually asymptomatic. The histological subtype of polyps cannot always be determined on endoscopic appearance alone, and biopsy is advocated. The need for further imaging, endoscopic procedures, surgical resection, and surveillance is determined by the histological features, neoplastic potential and associated symptoms. This review describes the different subtypes of sporadic duodenal polyp: adenomas, hamartomas, gastric metaplasia, inflammatory fibroids, lipomas, leiomyomas, carcinoids, stromal tumors, solitary Peutz-Jeghers polyps, lymphomas, and other rare benign and malignant lesions. It describes the epidemiology, clinical presentation, investigation, management options, and screening and surveillance strategies for each, based on current evidence.
