Duodenal Carcinoid. The tip of this small sessile lesion suggest an early ulceration that is typical for this tumor. In the duodenum, a small submucosal nodule located in the duodenal bulb is typical. In the Ileum , they are generally larger and may ulcerate. Most common in middle -aged patients. Duodenal carcinoids may cause obstruction or symptoms due to peptide secretion. Distal small bowel carcinoids cause obstructive symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting due to kinking from mesenteric involvement Ulcerated ileal carcinoids cause acute, episodic, or occult gastrointestinal bleeding.

The histopatologic study of the above case. Carcinoid tumor is a term applied to low-grade neuroendocrine tumors. They are composed of uniform cells with ampholilic cytoplasm, round nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli and arranged in nest, ribbons, cords, glands, and trabeculae Mitotic figures are scarce. More aggresive atypical or intermediate grade carcinoid tumors have increased numbers of mitotic figures and sometimes areas of necrosis.

The cat scan showed a tumor of the head, this nodule is in the second part of the duodenum that was proven to be by biopsies adenocarcinoma.

 Among cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, it is the third most
 common malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related
 mortality. The disease is difficult to diagnose in its early stages,
 and most patients have incurable disease by the time they present
 with symptoms. The overall 5-year survival rate for this disease
 is less than 5%.
Mycobacterium Avium Complex of the Duodenum. Endoscopically Mycobacterium Avium and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis infection can be suspected by the presence of tiny, punctate white nodules or exudate. Both illnesses can cause ulcers, bleeding, diarrhea, and malabsorption Mycobacterium Avium Complex infection occurs in the small intestine in patient with HIV disease, typically presents with weight loss, fever, diarrhea and abdominal paint. The duodenum is most commonly involved in 90% of the cases.

Diverticula of the duodenum are incidental findings in 1%-5% of barium examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract. They are acquired lesions consisting of a sac of mucosal and submucosal layers herniated through a muscular defect in the bowel wall. They are found most commonly along the medial border of the descending duodenum where penetrating vessels cause potential weak spots in the bowel wall. Thirty to forty percent of diverticula arise in the third and fourth portions of the duodenum.

Duodenal Diverticula. Pathophysiology: The cause of this condition is not known. It is believed to develop as the result of abnormalities in peristalsis, intestinal dyskinesis, and high segmental intraluminal pressures.

Duodenal Mucosa in Celiac Disease. This video endoscopy sequence shows magnifying endoscopy that displayed the mucosa of the duodenum with flat or absent microvillis. Celiac disease (CD) is a genetic disorder. In people with CD, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small intestine. This, in turn, causes the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications. The offending protein, gluten, is found in wheat, barley, rye, and to a lesser extent. characterized by damage to the mucosal lining of the small intestine which is known as villous atrophy.

Celiac disease endocopic video. Mosaicism and fold scalloping in duodenum. Celiac disease has a 95 percent genetic predisposition and, thus, it is frequently associated with autoimmune conditions such as diabetes mellitus type 1 and thyroid disease. Untreated patients have an increased incidence of osteoporosis and intestinal lymphoma. Excellent diagnostic screening tests are now available, including those that detect antigliadin and antiendomysial antibodies. Therapy with a gluten-free diet is effective, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms and secondary complications in almost all patients.

Duodenal diverticula are acquired outpouchings of the mucosa and submucosa, 90 percent of which are on the medial aspect of the duodenum. They are rare before age 40. There is a high incidence of gallstone disease of the gallbladder in patients with juxtapapillary diverticula. Diverticula are not seen in the first portion of the duodenum, where diverticular configurations are due to scarring by peptic ulceration or cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder).

 Great majority of duodenal diverticula areasymptomatic.

 Clinical presentation may be characterized by non-specific
 abdominal symptoms and less than 5% of patients have
 abdominal symptoms. Abdominal discomfort is usually
 locatedin epigastrium, right upper abdomen or umbilical
 area which is made worse or brought on by eating and
 relieved by vomiting, belching or assuming certain posture.
 There are no characteristic symptom complex from which
 one may make a positive diagnosis of Duodenal
 Diverticulum.

 
Angiodysplasia of the duodenum . This 72 year-old female has been presented with several episodes of melenas the upper endoscopy shows this vascular lesion in the second portion of the duodenum. Aberrant blood vessels are frequently found in the gastrointestinal tract, where they are probably more common than anywhere else in the body. Some are present from birth or develop as part of inherited syndromes, but the vast majority are acquired later in life. The reasons for the distortion of vascular structures observed with advancing age are poorly understood.

Angiodysplasia is characterized by degenerative vascular dilation of the capillary net in the absence of dysplastic tissue. On endoscopy, flat or slightly elevated, reddish, roundish or starry lesions are observed, measuring normally between 2 and 10 mm. Angiodysplasia is a frequent cause of unexplained upper gastrointestinal bleeding with significant morbidity.
