Abstract
|
|
|
Brunner¡¯s gland hyperplasia, also known as Brunner¡¯s gland adenoma or hamartoma, is often encountered as a proliferative lesion arising from the Brunner¡¯s glands of the duodenum. This lesion has previously been described as being benign, with no malignant potential. We report a case of Brunner¡¯s gland hyperplasia that was incidentally discovered on endoscopy for evaluation of gastrointestinal bleeding. The histopathological findings of this lesion revealed a marked dysplastic and malignant changes from the normal Brunner¡¯s gland structure. Our case demonstrates the possibility of malignant potential in the natural history of Brunner¡¯s gland hyperplasia, even though its incidence is very rare.
