Duodenal adenoma with production of massive mucus: report of a case with emphasis on US findings

Abdominal Imaging Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Duodenal adenoma with massive mucus production is very rare. We report such a case. Ultrasonography (US) showed the presence of massive mucus, and contrast- enhanced US revealed the thickened wall to be homogeneously enhanced, suggesting that the lesion was composed of the same pathology. The US results were confirmed histologically by endoscopically guided biopsy. Thus, contrast-enhanced US helps determine the biopsy point and determine good diagnostic strategies.
