Abstract
Brunneroma, also known as Brunner’s gland adenoma or harmatoma, is a very rare benign tumor of the duodenum, which is usually asymptomatic, and is discovered incidentally during endoscopic exam. These lesions are most commonly located in the duodenal bulb and clinical manifestations are variable. We report on a case of a large Brunner’s gland adenoma in a 54-year-old man, which was successfully removed by endoscopic resection without complications, such as bleeding or perforation. Microscopically, it was composed entirely of variable Brunner’s gland.
Key Words: Brunner’s gland, Adenoma, Duodenum, Endoscopy, Gastrointestinal
