1.1. Introduction: Hamartomas of the duodenum are benign duodenal tumors comprising approximately 5-10% of duodenal tumors. The incidence is <0.01%. Typically asymptomatic, they may manifest as intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, biliary obstruction or intussusception. Intussusception as a manifestation of duodenal hamartoma is rare in itself with less than 200 cases reported in the literature.
