Duodenal polyps have been reported in <1.5% of individuals who undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). We present a case of a 76-year-old male with recurrent hematemesis who was found to have an intestinal-type, pedunculated tubulovillous adenoma in the descending duodenum. An isolated occurrence of nonampullary sporadic duodenal adenoma is a rare finding. Presentation as an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is also extremely uncommon. Our patient’s polyp was pedunculated, which is atypical, because most sporadic duodenal adenomas are morphologically flat or sessile. The purpose of this case is to present a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and to depict characteristics of an isolated duodenal tubulovillous adenoma and its treatment options.

AbstractNonvariceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (NVUGIH) is a common GI emergency with significant morbidity and mortality. Triaging cases on the basis of patient-related factors, restrictive blood transfusion strategy, and hemodynamic stabilization are key initial steps for the management of patients with NVUGIH. Endoscopy remains a vital step for both diagnosis and definitive management. Multiple studies and guidelines have now defined the optimum timing for performing the endoscopy after hospitalization, to better the outcome. Conventional methods for achieving endoscopic hemostasis, such as injection therapy, contact, and noncontact thermal therapy, and mechanical therapy, such as through-the-scope clips, have reported to have 76 to 90% efficacy for primary hemostasis. Newer modalities to enhance hemostasis rates have come in vogue. Many of these modalities, such as cap-mounted clips, coagulation forceps, and hemostatic powders have proved to be efficacious in multiple studies. Thus, the newer modalities are recommended not only for management of persistent bleed and recurrent bleed after failed initial hemostasis, using conventional modalities but also now being advocated for primary hemostasis. Failure of endotherapy would warrant radiological or surgical intervention. Some newer tools to optimize endotherapy, such as endoscopic Doppler probes, for determining flow in visible or underlying vessels in ulcer bleed are now being evaluated. This review is focused on the technical aspects and efficacy of various endoscopic modalities, both conventional and new. A synopsis of the various studies describing and comparing the modalities have been outlined. Postendoscopic management including Helicobacter pylori therapy and starting of anticoagulants and antiplatelets have also been outlined.
