brunner’s gland hamartoma is a rare benign tumour of the duodenum. it was first described by cruveilhier in 1835. presently around 200 cases have been reported in literature. no sex predilection is seen. patients usually present in the fifth to sixth decades of life. they may be clinically silent or may present with variable symptoms and occasionally obstructive symptoms and chronic pancreatiti...

Brunner glands are compound tubular submucosal glands typically found in the duodenal bulb. The most common benign tumors of the small intestine are adenoma, and 25% of these occur in the duodenum. Among the benign tumors of the duodenum, 5-10% arise from the Brunner glands. Most of the literature describes their presentations as ranging from benign, nonspecific, epigastric discomfort to obstru...

Brunner gland cyst is a benign polypoid or nodular lesion of the duodenum that may not be familiar to gastroenterologists and pathologists because of its rarity. There have been only 9 cases documented in the world literature under various names. In this report, we describe the clinicopathologic features of three such cases to raise the awareness of its existence.

Brunner gland hamartoma is an uncommon lesion that is usually located in the first portion of the duodenum. Its origin is submucosal and it has a potential risk for bleeding. There are no specific symptoms nor are there any endoscopic images to aid in the initial diagnosis. Endoscopic ultrasound has been suggested as the gold standard method due to its capability to identify this pathology. We ...

A previously unreported cell phenotype occurred in the pyloric and Brunner glands in two gastrectomy specimens. The cells were characterised by homogeneous, eosinophilic material in the cytoplasm. The eosinophilic material had an abnormally strong reactivity for Cystatin C, a protein found recently in the normal secretion of pyloric and Brunner's gland cells. The reason for the apparent cytopla...

Brunner's gland adenoma is a rare tumor of the duodenum and might also be an unusual cause of gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction. The pathogenesis of Brunner gland hamartoma of the duodenum is unknown. We report two cases of Brunner's gland adenoma. Surgical resection was carried out because the tumor size was big in both cases and one accompanied with bleeding. Pathological examination r...

The glycoproteins of the small intestines, caecum and colon of three adult elephants and one recently weaned elephant calf were examined by means of lectin histochemistry. Tissue sections were histochemically stained with peroxidase-labelled concanavalin A (Con A), asparagus-pea (TPA), peanut (PNA) and wheat-germ (WGA) lectins. Con A and TPA showed no binding activity in the intestinal tract of...
