Abstract

Although the duodenum comprises less than 10% of the total length of small bowel, 21% of benign tumors and 23% of malignant tumors of the small bowel originate in the duodenum. Accordingly, the duodenum has a higher frequency of neoplasm per unit of length than the jejunum and ileum. Approximately 50–55% of duodenal tumors are malignant. They have nearly equal sex distribution and their age distribution is similar to that seen in the entire small intestine, with the majority of patients being older than 50 years (Zouhairi et al. 2008; Heinrich and Clavien 2010; Maglinte et al. 2008; Levine et al. 2008a, b).
