A case of villous polyps of the duodenum is reported, world-wide series also being considered. The various symptomatologies and percentages of malignant transformation and localization are described and stress laid on the superiority of endoscopy to radiography owing to the fact that it gave: 1) exact site and nature diagnosis of the lesion during the haemorrhagic phase; 2) exact histological and topographical diagnosis, following the haemorrhage, paving the way to the subsequent surgery.
