Background: The proliferative lesions of the Brunner's glands (BGs) are hyperplasia and hamartomas, and they are usually asymptomatic and very rarely diagnosed. The aetiology of these lesions is not yet clear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical presentations of patients with BG hyperplasia and hamartomas and to assess the pathological features of these lesions in association with ().
Methods: Our retrospective study included patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy between 2010 and 2015. The hospital records of 18 patients diagnosed with hyperplasia or hamartoma of BG were reviewed for the clinical and pathological findings. Data from patients with BG lesion were compared with 37 patients who had nonspecific duodenitis as the control group.
Results: Female/male ratio in our study sample was 1/1. The age range was between 16 and 85 years with a mean age of 48.61. BG hyperplasia and hamartomas were found in 72.22 and 27.78% of the patients, respectively. The rate of in gastric mucosa was 43.2% in the control group and 66.7% in the BG lesion group. In the BG lesion group, the rate of . was higher. was identified in 60% of BG hamartomas and in 69.2% of hyperplastic BGs.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that may play an important role in the development of BG hyperplasia and hamartomas in association with chronic gastritis and duodenitis. This is probably due to chronic irritation.

Castleman's disease (CD) is characterised by benign lymphoepithelial proliferation and is a peculiar form of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia rather than a neoplasm or a hamartoma. CD is broadly classified as unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric CD. In the unicentric variant, patients have localised disease affecting only a single lymph node or a group of adjacent nodes in a single region, which clinically presents as an enlarging mass without any other significant symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome mainly caused by PTEN gene variants, significantly increasing breast cancer risk for female carriers (up to 80%).
- A study tracked breast biopsies of 14 females with these gene variants over 28 years, finding high rates of breast cancer diagnoses (85.7%) with an average initial diagnosis age of 41.6.
- The research highlights that breast cancer in PHTS does not have distinctive features, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to familiarize themselves with these cases for better early recognition and management.

Introduction And Importance: Brunner's gland hamartoma is a rare benign duodenal tumor. Resection is recommended for large or symptomatic lesions, but conventional pancreaticoduodenectomy and other procedures can be overly invasive for the lesion. We report a case of Brunner's gland hamartoma resected using laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS).

Article Synopsis
- The small intestine and ampulla can develop various benign tumors and tumor-like diseases that may resemble cancer, highlighting the need for pathologists to have a comprehensive understanding of these conditions.
- Key examples of these benign issues include Brunner gland lesions, different types of polyps, and various mesenchymal proliferations like inflammatory fibroid polyps and leiomyomas.
- The review aims to clarify the histopathological features of these benign conditions to aid pathologists in making accurate diagnoses and differentiating them from malignant tumors.
