Carcinoids are a heterogeneous group of neuroendocrine tumours. Duodenal localization is associated with relatively benign behaviour of the tumour, slow progression, low metastatic potential, and absence of endocrine activity. Type and extent of surgery depend on size and staging of the tumour. In this article, we present a case study of a 27-year-old female patient with well-differentiated carcinoid in the second part of the duodenum. The tumour of a size 5 mm × 3 mm × 2 mm manifested with abdominal symptomatology and did not invade the muscularis propria. Scintigraphy did not demonstrate other pathological deposits of somatostatin receptors. The wedge resection of the duodenal wall was performed laparoscopically with perioperative endoscopic localization and marking of the tumour. Uneventful operation and postoperative course presents a contribution of miniinvasive surgery of specific duodenal lesions.
