Brunner’s gland hyperplasia (BGH) is an unusual entity that presents with large duodenal polyp or mass and rarely causes gastrointestinal bleeding. It is usually asymptomatic and often an incidental finding during the esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD). However, most of the cases are benign. We encounter a 40 years old man who presented in Emergency Room with melena. EGD revealed solitary, large duodenal polyp in second part of duodenum and later histopathological findings were consistent with BGH.

Brunner’s gland hamartoma is a rare benign tumor of duodenum .We present a case of large pedunculated duodenal hamartoma causing obstructive jaundice and significant dilatation of intrahepatic biliary radicles. Duodenal polyp is a rare benign tumor formed from a proliferation of Brunner gland, typically forming polypoid growth in proximal duodenum and can extend up to 3rd part of duodenum. It may be incidental finding but can present in emergency with obstruction and hemorrhage requiring surgical endoscopic resection.
