Brunner’s gland hyperplasia: a rare case report

A rare case of Brunner’s gland hyperplasia mimicking duodenal malignancy is reported. A 21-year old man had a lesion in the second portion of the duodenum on endoscopy. The biopsy specimen suggested moderate and chronically active duodenitis. However, since the CT features strongly suggested malignancy, pyloroduodenotomy, excision of the lesion and Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty was performed. The final pathological diagnosis was Brunner’s gland hyperplasia.
