A solid lesion which was in the size of 30 x 40 mm was detected in the head of pancreas and loss of fat plane between the pancreas and lesion, which raise doubt of a mass in the pancreas as a result of the abdominal tomography (Figure 1).
The low-power view of the tumor shows islands and sheets of crowded Brunner-gland-like acinar tumor cells, packed into larger nodules divided by seldom collagenous trabecules and thin-walled blood vessels. Magnification x 12,5; Hematoxylin & Eosin stain

BGA presence was reported on the localization of the head of pancreas as a result of the histopatologic examination (Figure 2, Figure 3). Besides, no findings supporting malignity was observed and there were 14 reactive lymph nodes on this specimen.
An higher-power view reveals very well differentiation of the tumoral cells towards the normal Brunner gland phenotype. There is no atypia or mitosis. The cells are monotonous, small, round and located at the bases of the cytoplasms. Magnification x 200; Hematoxylin & Eosin stain
