Brunner's Gland Adenoma (3 of 4)
Case description
Brunner’s glands consist of submucosal mucin-secreting
glands located exclusively in the duodenum. They extend
from the pylorus distally for a variable distance, usually at
the first and second portions of the duodenum, and less
frequently, stopping at the third and fourth portions.
Brunner’s glands secrete an alkaline fluid composed of
viscous mucin, whose function appears to protect the
duodenal epithelium from acid chyme of the stomach.
It is a tumor without malignant predisposition. The
malignant type is rare.
