This report describes an unusual case of a symptomatic Brunner's gland adenoma arising in a man in his 40s that underwent robotic transduodenal resection. Initial investigations revealed a polypoidal, submucosal lesion that was found in the first part of the duodenum. Microscopically, there was neither dysplasia nor evidence of adenocarcinoma, suggesting differentials of gastrointestinal stroma tumour and duodenal adenoma. Given the size of the lesion, he underwent a surgical resection. Symptomatic Brunner's gland adenoma is uncommon and should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with obstructive symptoms.

BACKGROUND Brunneromas are among the rarest benign tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract. They arise from the Brunner's glands and patients have a good prognosis if treated timely and radically. Because symptoms are rare, their diagnosis can be challenging, especially regarding the smaller ones.

PGA has been increasingly recognized as a histologically and molecularly distinct entity; however, its endoscopic features have not been precisely described. This study aims to investigate the endoscopic characteristics of duodenal PGA, including the association of their putative precursors, Brunner's gland hyperplasia (BGH), and gastric epithelial heterotopia/metaplasia (GEM/H).

The gastrointestinal tract is a multi-organ system crucial for efficient nutrient uptake and barrier immunity. Advances in genomics and a surge in gastrointestinal diseases has fuelled efforts to catalogue cells constituting gastrointestinal tissues in health and disease. Here we present systematic integration of 25 single-cell RNA sequencing datasets spanning the entire healthy gastrointestinal tract in development and in adulthood.

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).

We herein report a rare case of duodenal adenocarcinoma with a rapidly progressive course. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed Brunner's gland hyperplasia in the bulbs of the duodenum three years prior to this presentation. Two years earlier, gastric foveolar metaplasia had been observed in the bulbs.
