Abstract
Brunner’s gland hamartoma is a rare benign tumor of duodenum .We present a case of large pedunculated duodenal hamartoma causing obstructive jaundice and significant dilatation of intrahepatic biliary radicles. Duodenal polyp is a rare benign tumor formed from a proliferation of Brunner gland, typically forming polypoid growth in proximal duodenum and can extend up to 3rd part of duodenum. It may be incidental finding but can present in emergency with obstruction and hemorrhage requiring surgical endoscopic resection.
