[Duodenal xanthofibrogranuloma (author's transl)]. 1977

I Duba, and R Maurer

A 56 years old woman presented with nonspecific epigastric pains and anemia. X-rays of the upper gastrointestinal tract demonstrated a tumor of the duodenum, which was removed surgically. The histologic examination showed a xanthofibrogranuloma (XFG). To our knowledge, this is the first XFG found in the duodenum. Morphological and clinical findings as well as diagnosis of this condition are briefly described and the pertinent litreature is reviewed.
