Abstract
Background
Brunner’s gland adenoma is a rare benign tumor arising from
Brunner’s glands. It is mostly small in size, and patients with this tumor
are asymptomatic.
Case presentation
We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with upper gastrointestinal obstruction
for almost 10 years, who was pathologically diagnosed with large Brunner’s
gland adenoma of the duodenum. Postoperatively, no sign of recurrence has been
noted until now.
Conclusion
This study may help clinicians to understand and provide a more accurate diagnosis
of Brunner’s gland adenoma.
