Abstract
The Brunner's gland hamartoma is a benign tumor of the duodenum, but it has malignant potential with a very low risk of progressing to adenocarcinoma. It is rare, accounting for less than 1% of primary tumors of the small intestine. Furthermore, its clinical manifestations are nonspecific, its etiology is poorly understood, and the treatment strategy needs to be tailored accordingly. We report a case of a patient with a Brunner's gland hamartoma of the duodenum who presented with intestinal obstruction and was treated with surgical resection of the polyp via duodenotomy.
