Core Tip
Core tip: Sporadic duodenal adenomas can be treated endoscopically with minimal morbidity and even piecemeal resection results in eradication in nearly three quarters of patients. Optimal surveillance strategies include re-endoscopy 6 mo after the initial resection is a satisfactory starting point. Recurrent sporadic adenomas can be treated with endoscopic re-resection with surgical resection indicated when the lesions are large (> 3 cm in diameter) or demonstrate severe dysplasia or invasive cancer.
