Abstract
Hyperplasia of Brunner's glands is a dysembryoplasic or hyperplasic le sion with an elective location of the proximal duodenum. Symptoms are often non-specific but severe manifestations can occur (haemorrhage, d uodenal obstruction). Two cases of hyperplasia of Brunner's glands wer e reported due to their particularly large size and a misguiding clini cal appearance. Difficulties in diagnosis due to this rare benign enti ty were discussed.
