Abstract

Brunner's gland cysts are rare benign lesions that are mainly observed in the first and the second regions of the duodenum. Patients with Brunner's gland cyst demonstrate no specific symptoms. The present study reports the case of a patient with Brunner's gland cyst located in the duodenum in combination with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the same region. To the best of our knowledge, the present study reports the first case of Brunner's gland cyst with GIST. A 58‑year‑old female patient was referred to Tianchang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Tianchang, China) with a one‑month history of upper abdominal discomfort, diarrhea and recurrent vomiting following the intake of food. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and a computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a round, cystic‑like lesion with internal low density located within the duodenum. Pathological examination revealed that the cyst measured 0.3 cm in diameter and was consistent with a diagnosis of Brunner's gland cyst. Histopathology revealed that the cyst possessed characteristics of GIST. The patient underwent surgical exploration and tumor resection, and was discharged 2 weeks post‑surgery. During the 12 month post‑operative follow‑up period, the outcome of the patient was good. This case study of Brunner's gland cyst combined with GIST enriches the present literature and promotes better understanding of the two diseases. Further investigation is required to explain the mechanism and association between the two rare diseases.
