Isolated myoepithelial duodenal hamartoma presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleed

Indian J Gastroenterol. 1998 Jul-Sep;17(3):109-10.

Abstract

Myoepithelial duodenal hamartoma, a rare lesion, usually occurs as a part of diffuse gastrointestinal tract polyposis in Peutz-Jegher's and Gardner's syndromes. Solitary duodenal hamartoma in the absence of other manifestations of polyposis syndrome is rare. We report one such patient presenting with massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
