    Duodenal tumors are uncommon and usually benign growths in the duodenum. Many times they are asymptomatic and discovered accidentally during autopsy. When symptoms do occur, they can include vague abdominal pain, weight loss, bleeding, or perforation of the bowel in severe cases. Endoscopy is often used to diagnose duodenal tumors, and treatment may involve electrocautery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, with nursing care focused on patient education.
