A duodenal diverticulum results from prolapse of mucosa or the entire duodenal wall .The correct diagnosis may be challenging because duodenal diverticulum can mimic pancreatic neoplasms. In this case report, we aimed to share our experience about a recent misdiagnosed duodenal diverticulum case and highlight the importance of precise diagnosis of duodenal diverticula.
