Summary

A case of lymphangioma of the duodenum is reported, and the literature pertinent to its pathology reviewed. This is the eleventh case reported, and the third in which the diagnosis has been made by endoscopy. The clinical and histological characteristics are important, on account of its presentation and its penetrating character into the neighbouring structures. The characteristics of this tumor seen during endoscopy are discussed.
