ABSTRACT
Brunner's gland hyperplasia constitutes 10.6% of benign tumors of the duodenum, with an incidence of 0.008%. It is usually an incidental finding during endoscopy or imaging tests as they are small and asymptomatic. In the case of symptomatic tumors, resection of the lesion is indicated. In lesions ≤2 cm, endoscopic resection can be chosen, reserving surgery for larger lesions or endoscopically inaccessible ones. We present the case of a patient with a history of vomiting and hyporexia of months of evolution who presented peptic ulcer perforation and underwent surgery. During follow-up, she presented intestinal obstruction due to pyloric stenosis. Given the impossibility of ruling out a neoplastic process with certainty in diagnostic tests, surgical resection (antrectomy) was decided with an anatomopathological finding of Brunner's gland hyperplasia.
