An Unusual Gastric Polyp: Brunneroma

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Pathology

Background:

• Brunneromas are benign hamartomas originating from Brunner glands.
• Typically found in the duodenum, they present with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms.
• Larger lesions may cause more severe manifestations, and treatment usually involves endoscopic resection.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a rare case of a gastric Brunneroma.
• To discuss the histological findings and clinical presentation of this duodenal lesion variant.

Main Methods:

• Histological examination of a gastric antral polypoid lesion.

Main Results:

• The lesion was histologically consistent with a Brunneroma.
• This represents an unusual presentation of Brunneroma in the gastric antrum.

Conclusions:

• Brunneromas, while typically duodenal, can rarely occur in the gastric antrum.
• Histological confirmation is key for diagnosing gastric Brunneromas.
