We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with a previous duodenal adenoma resection who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, during which endoscopic biopsy of a hypertrophied minor duodenal papilla was performed with a standard biopsy forceps. The exam was otherwise normal and she was discharged with no pain or discomfort.
