Özet

Brunner gland adenomas (BOA) are benign and rare tumors of small intestine. They are seen at a rate of BKI 0.6 of all benign duodenal tumors. Symptoms can be variable and abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis and me one can be seen in some cases. Diagnosis is difficult with mucosa! biopsies, becasue of the location in submucosa and generally made by endoscopic resection material. It should be distinguished from lips ca leiyomyoma, neurogenic and carcinoid tumors through endoscopic and radiologic methods. Endosonography (EUS) is helpful for diagnosis due to detection of originate from which layer of duodenum wall, echogenity and tissue homogeneity of lesion. In this article, we reported a BOA located with EUS and resected with endoscopic polypectomy BOA was reported before as generally heterogeneus-hypoechoic and characterised with cystic areas, however, in our case, BOA was detected as a different echo pattern on EUS.
