Two cases with duodenal carcinoma successfully treated by endoscopic mucosal resection are reported. Case 1 had a semipedunculate polyp, and case 2 had a flat elevated lesion with a central depression in the second portion of the duodenum. Histologic examination showed tubular adenocarcinoma in adenoma in case 1 and an intramucosal adenocarcinoma in case 2, indicating that complete endoscopic resection had been achieved in both cases. Endoscopic mucosal resection appears to be a safe and efficient method for management of early carcinoma of the duodenum as well as in other regions of the gastrointestinal tract.
