Duodenal Carcinoid
73 year-old woman with occult gastrointestinal bleeding was found to have this
small, smooth mucosal nodule in the duodenal bulb. Biopsies with special stains
indicated this to be a carcinoid tumor; further workup was unremarkable,
suggesting this to be an isolated lesion.
Incidental finding in a 76 year-old woman undergoing endoscopy for evaluation of
abdominal pain. Smooth duodenal tumor visible through the pylorus on left.
