- Abstract
- Brunner's gland adenoma is a rare benign tumor that is usually asymptomatic and results from benign proliferation of the
Brunner's gland, which is normally present in the duodenum. In symptomatic patients, the most common clinical presentations
are gastrointestinal bleeding and obstructive symptoms. A 48-year-old man presented with abdominal discomfort and vomiting.
Endoscopic examination revealed a large pedunculated polypoid lesion arising in the bulb and prolapsing through the pylorus into
the antrum, thereby creating ball-valve effect. This polyp was successfully removed via endoscopic polypectomy using IT knife
and metal clip without bleeding and perforation. We report a case of Brunner's gland adenoma which cause obstructive symptom
by creating ball-valve effect.
