Popis: Brunner's hamartoma is a quite rare neoformation whose origin is not completely clear.A case of a 69-year-old man with recurrent epigastric pain and an endoscopic finding of a duodenal mass is reported.The complete removal of hamartoma can give a complete remission of symptoms.Hamartoma can be only diagnosed by endoscopy and histological exam; its therapy is always surgical, also in order to avoid possible malignant degeneration.
