  • Title: Brunner's gland hamartoma: a rare cause of iron deficiency anaemia and report of an adapted colonic polyp resection technique.
    Author: Judd S, Patel S, Levi E, Antaki F.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2017 Mar 08; 2017():. PubMed ID: 28275018.
    Abstract:
    A man aged 65 years presented with symptomatic anaemia without overt gastrointestinal bleeding. An oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed and he was found to have a large ulcerated pedunculated Brunner's gland hamartoma in the duodenal bulb. The polyp was resected using snare cautery in forward and retroflexed positions. Colonoscopy was also performed and a few diminutive polyps were resected. A year later, the patient returned for a surveillance EGD, and no residual polyp was noted. Haemoglobin and iron studies normalised within a few months after polypectomy, with resolution of symptoms.
