Tumors arising in Bruner’s glands

  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Summary

The literature regarding tumors arising in Brunner’s glands of the duodenum consists of 46 cases of benign solid tumors to which one personal case is added. These are reviewed. There are also instances of cysts arising in these glands. No instances of malignant transformation are recorded. The tumors are frequently pedunculated and commonly give symptoms of pyloric obstruction. They can only be recognized on roentgenological study. The pertinent facts regarding etiology, pathology and classification are discussed. Treatment is necessarily surgical.
