Brunner's gland hyperplasia.
Brunner's gland adenomas are uncommon benign duodenal tumors. They are an infrequent cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and duodenal obstruction but can occasionally mimic duodenal malignancy in their presentation. Conservative endoscopic or surgical resection followed by a regimen of antacids and H2 antagonists is the treatment of choice.
