  • Title: Duodenal Brunner's gland adenoma causing chronic small intestinal obstruction in a dog.
    Author: Bowen EJ, Mundy P, Tivers MS, Syme HM, Mantis P, Smyth B, Baines SJ.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 2012 Feb; 53(2):136-9. PubMed ID: 22129371.
    Abstract:
    An eight-year-old, neutered, female English springer spaniel was presented with a 14-month history of vomiting, marked weight loss and lethargy, all of which were non-responsive to medical therapy. Abdominal radiographs and ultrasonography showed an intraluminal soft tissue mass extending from the pyloric antrum to the proximal duodenum. Two spherical masses both approximately 8 cm in diameter were removed via a duodenotomy. Histopathological examination showed the first mass to be a trichobezoar and the aboral mass to be a Brunner's gland adenoma. Surgery resulted in a complete resolution of the clinical signs.
