Summary

We report on the case of a 51-year-old female with a pedunculated duodenal tumor that was covered with normal duodenal mucosa. Histology of the endoscopically resected tumor revealed Brunner's gland adenoma with two foci of microcarcinoids. To our knowledge, such a case has not been reported in the literature.
