A case of adenomyoma of the prepyloric antrum and a review of the prev ious reported in the literature are presented. The tumor is composed o f cysts and glandular structures lined by cuboidal-to-columnar epithel ium surrounded by hypertrophic smooth muscle bundles. Furthermore, gla nds resembling Brunner's and/or heterotopic pancreatic tissue are pres ent in some patients. The endoscopic characteristics of the lesion are discussed, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
