Pyloric giant Brunner's gland hamartoma as a cause of both duodenojejunal intussusception and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is an important dilemma. Brunner's gland hamartoma is an extremely rare tumor generally localized in the duodenal bulb. We present a 34-year-old woman who had suffered from several episodes of melena for the past three years. Endoscopic examinations were normal. Computed tomography showed a large target lesion over the right abdomen and an image representing in...
متن کاملBrunner's gland hamartoma: 'over-treatment' of a voluminous mass simulating a malignancy of the pancreatic-duodenal area.

When symptoms occur, this hyperplasia can be effectively treated with endoscopy. However, when the lesion is too large to pass through the endoscopic snare, endoscopic treatment is not possi...
متن کاملEffect of secretin and glucagon on Brunner's gland secretion in the rat.
Brunner's gland secretion in response to infusion of secretin and glucagon was studied in the rat. Secretin was infused in doses of 15, 150 and 1500 ng/kg/h. All dose significantly increased bicarbonate and protein output and depleted Brunner's glands of PAS-positive mucin. Bicarbonate secretion was related to plasma secretin concentration, and a marked stimulatory effect of secretin was found ...
