World J Gastroenterol. 2011 Jul 21;17(27):3267-70. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v17.i27.3267.

Abstract

We report a rare case of duodenal pseudolymphoma without any symptoms. The lesion located in front of the head of the pancreas was found accidentally during a medical examination. The findings of computed tomography and positron emission tomography-computed tomography suggested a stromal tumor or malignant lymphoma. Surgical resection was performed. The lesions were pathologically diagnosed as duodenal pseudolymphoma.

Keywords: Duodenum; Pseudolymphoma.
