Abstract

Background: the Brunner’s glands are tubular structures located in the submucosa of the duodenum. Their excessive growth does not usually give symptoms or at least they are minimum. This is known as Brunner’s gland adenoma, Hamartoma or Brunneroma. Its most frequent localization is in the first portion of the duodenum, but it is extremely strange below the ampulla of Vater.
Objective: to present the clinical case of a patient with the diagnosis of Brunneroma.
Clinical case: white-skinned, 72 years-old, female patient with antecedents of a 20-years duodenal ulcer who is hospitalize with diffuse pain in superior abdomen accompanied by abundant depositions like coffee powder, profuse sweating and slight loss of weight in the last month.
Conclusions: Brunneroma is a not very frequent benign lesion of the duodenum; it can be discovered accidentally and in some occasions it may cause digestive hemorrhage.
