Abstract

A 49-year-old woman had nonspecific digestive symptoms such as indigestion and upper abdominal discomfort. Endoscopic examination revealed a large pedunculated polypoid lesion arising in the postbulbar region and extending to the second part of the duodenum. This polyp was successfully removed via endoscopic snare polypectomy. We applied metal clip on the base of polyp for preventing bleeding or perforation. There was no serious complication.
