Two cases of villoglandular adenoma of the duodenum presenting with features of peptic ulcer are reported. At surgery both patients had intussusception of the duodenum. One of them had carcinoma in situ. The literature is briefly reviewed, and the importance of keeping in mind this rather rare condition, even in areas where duodenal ulcer is widely prevalent, is emphasized.
