The computed tomography (CT) found a strip-like, mixed-density lesion with fat attenuation in the duodenal canal, and the proximal intestine was dilated. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT revealed that the lesion had mild to moderate enhancement with incomplete intussusception. The lesion was resected entirely with the endoscope. Postoperative pathology results confirmed a BGH.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>CT findings exhibit specific characteristics that are valuable for visualizing these lesions or their secondary manifestations. An elongated intraluminal mass lesion with heterogeneous density and fat attenuation may indicate a pedunculated duodenal Brunner\u2019s gland
