Causa infrecuente de hemorragia digestiva alta: Pólipo duodenal de 30 mm (adenoma brunneriano). Tratamiento endoscópico
Resumen:
The authors present a case of upper digestive hemorrhage whose etiology was finally determined to be a voluminous Brunner's adenoma in the firs portion of the duodenum which was successfuly treated by means of endoscopical polypectomy. Authors emphasize the infrequency of this pathology. Endoscopical biopsies can be insufficient far definitive histological diagnosis.
