  • Title: Duodenojejunal intussusception secondary to hamartomatous polyp of Brunner's glands.
    Author: Chuang JH, Chen WJ.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1991 Jul; 13(1):96-100. PubMed ID: 1919957.
    Abstract:
    A case of duodenojejunal intussusception secondary to a large hamartomatous polyp of Brunner's glands was reported in a 15-year-old girl. Despite a great preponderance of ileocolic intussusception in childhood, this is the first reported case of duodenojejunal intussusception occurring in that age group. The diagnosis was not made by clinical examination; complete duodenal obstruction was shown in upper gastrointestinal series and by endoscopy. The intussusception was reduced manually at laparotomy, and the polyp was excised. Pathological examination revealed a preponderance of normal-appearing Brunner's glands in the tumor, consistent with the diagnosis of Brunner's gland hamartoma.
