ABSTRACT
The upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common cause of admission to hospital. Neurogenic tumors of the duodenum are extremely rare and represent an unusual cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The treatment is endoscopic or surgical total excision. In case of ulcerated large tumors situated periampullary pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple's or Traverso-Longmire's) represents an efficient solution. In addition, their high index of malignancy justifies this trend. We present a case of schwannoma of the second portion of the duodenum with several episodes of upper GI bleeding treated by Trasverso-Longmire pancreaticoduodenectomy.
