Abstract

Background: Brunner glands are normally found in the duodenal bulb. Occasional enlargement of the Brunner glands may appear as granular mounds. Objective: A case of a 34-year-old male who followed recurrent melena, was found to have a giant Brunner's gland polyp of the duodenum. Results: The Giant Brunner's gland polyp was removed endoscopically. The literature regarding giant Brunner gland polyps/hyperplasia is reviewed. Conclusion: Giant brunner's gland polyps can be safely removed endoscopically.
