Abstract: Brunner gland cyst is a benign polypoid or nodular lesion of the duodenum that may not be familiar to gastroenterologists and
pathologists because of its rarity. There have been only 9 cases documented in the world literature under various names. In this report, we
describe the clinicopathologic features of three such cases to raise the awareness of its existence. (IJCEP712002).

Key Words: Brunner gland, cyst, duodenum, endoscopy
