“…EUS is an excellent imaging modality to assess GI sub-epithelial lesions. Only a few cases have reported the endosonographic appearances of BGHs (Table 1) [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]. The lesions arise from deep mucosa or submucosa and do not breach the muscularis propria layer.…”

Brunner’s gland hamartoma (BGH) is a rare sub-epithelial tumour of the duodenum, which may cause haemorrhagic or obstructive gastrointestinal symptoms. Their accurate histological diagnosis often remains elusive before resection. Although endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is considered an excellent modality to study lesions within the gastrointestinal wall, only a few reports have described endosonographic characteristics of BGHs. A reliable pre-resection diagnosis with EUS may not only allay fear of malignancy but may as well avert a major surgery for the patients. In this report, we present a rare case of a large BGH in a young female who presented with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, the endosonographic features assuaged the concern for malignancy while aiding in complete and uneventful surgical resection of the tumour via a submucosal plane.

A 72-year-old female presented with melena due to a post-pyloric Brunneroma. After medical work-up a full laparoscopic resection was performed, with an uneventful recovery. Conclusion Brunner's gland hyperplasia is a benign lesion, although malignant transformation has been described. Small pedunculated Brunneromas can be resected endoscopically, but larger lesions need surgical treatment. A full laparoscopic treatment is possible and safe.
