Case Report: A rare case of a giant sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenoma that was safely and effectively resected using hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection

TL;DR

A rare case of a large duodenal tumor was successfully removed using a specialized endoscopic technique.

Contribution

This is the first reported case of a giant sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenoma resected using hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Findings

A 4.5*2.8*1.0cm giant SNADA was safely removed using hybrid ESD with no complications.

Pathology confirmed a margin-negative tubulovillous adenoma with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.

The case provides new insights for diagnosing and treating giant SNADAs.

Abstract

As a rare condition, sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenomas (SNADAs) are typically asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. It warrants treatment due to the high risk of malignant transformation. However, giant SNADAs, especially those treated using hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), are exceedingly rare, and to our knowledge, this condition has not been reported previously.

A 69-year-old Chinese male patient was diagnosed with an incidentally discovered giant SNADA. Given the size and location and the patient’s non-invasive request, we performed hybrid ESD to completely resect a giant SNADA (4.5*2.8*1.0cm) without postoperative discomfort or complications. Final pathology confirmed a margin-negative tubulovillous adenoma with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.

We present a rare case of a giant SNADA that was successfully dissected using hybrid ESD. Further, we provide a brief review, discuss the treatment protocol of this case, and provide a new perspective for the future diagnosis and treatment of a giant SNADA.
