A patient with obstructive Brunner's gland hyperplasia presenting as an annular duodenal stricture is reported. Surgical biopsy was required to obtain a tissue specific diagnosis and obstruction was relieved by performing a Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy. Brunner's gland hyperplasia poses a diagnostic challenge. Conservative management is usually adequate after a histological diagnosis has been Firmly established. |
