Abstract

Brunner's glands are the exocrine glands located in the submucosa of the duodenum. Brunner’s gland hyperplasia is a rare and benign lesion of the duodenum that was first described in 1835. Most Brunner’s gland hyperplasia patients are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally through the endoscopy with the image of submucosal tumors. Brunner's gland hyperplasia can be treated by local endoscopic resection or surgery. We reported a case in July 2023, a 63-year-old female patient came to the clinic with frequent indigestion, poor appetite and abdominal pain. After being indicated for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, a submucosal tumor, which is about 18mm in diameter, was detected. We successfully performed endoscopic intervention to cut the submucosal tumor, stop the bleeding and close the cut with the clips. Biopsy of submucosal tumor showed the result of Brunner's gland hyperplasia (hamartoma).
