Department of Gastroenterology: Chinese General Hospital
Significance: Brunner's gland hyperplasia is an uncommon, benign duodenal lesion. The symptomology might be asymptomatic (as an unintentional endoscopic discovery) or include gastrointestinal blockage or hemorrhage [1]. In this case series, we presented two cases of bleeding Brunner’s Gland Hyperplasia presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, a scenario that is not commonly encountered nowadays. We also provided a review of related literature, including clinical presentation, endoscopic findings, gross and microscopic pathology, and management of these cases.
Keywords: Brunner’s gland hyperplasia, duodenal mass, gastroscopy, melena, case report
