Brunner's gland hyperplasia (BGH) or Brunneroma is an uncommon benign proliferative lesion of the small intestine. It is primarily found in the duodenal submucosa, and its main function is to create an alkaline-based mucus to protect the duodenum from stomach acid. BGH can manifest as hyperplasia or a polypoidal tumor and is often discovered incidentally during endoscopy or imaging. Less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature, and it rarely causes gastrointestinal bleeding. In this case report, we present a case of a 25-year-old male who presented with bloody stools and fainting due to severe anemia and underlying gastrointestinal pathology.
布伦纳腺增生(BGH)或布伦纳瘤是一种罕见的小肠良性增殖性病变。它主要位于十二指肠黏膜下层,其主要功能是产生碱性黏液以保护十二指肠免受胃酸侵蚀。BGH可表现为增生或息肉样肿瘤,常在内镜检查或影像学检查时偶然发现。文献报道的病例不足200例,且很少引起胃肠道出血。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名25岁男性患者,他因严重贫血和潜在的胃肠道病变出现便血和昏厥。
