<I>Background</I>: A giant Brunner's gland hamartoma in the duodenum is very rare. It is usually small in size, and recognized as a submucosal tumor. Pre-operative diagnosis of Brunner's gland hamartoma is difficult, when it takes the shape of a giant pedunculated polyp. We report a rare case of giant Brunner's gland hamartoma which was effectively diagnosed by intra-operative cytological examination.<BR><I>Case</I>: A 70-year-old man with diabetes mellitus was incidentally found to have a giant polyp in the duodenum by an upper GI X-ray examination. An endoscopic examination revealed a giant polyp in the anterior wall of the duodenal bulb. The giant polyp was endoscopically resected for pathological diagnosis and therapy. The polyp was diagnosed as Brunner's gland hamartoma by intra-operative cytology.<BR><B><I>Conclusion</I>:</B> Intra-operative cytological diagnosis diagnosis of a duodenal Brunner's gland hamartoma was possible, by excluding adenoma and adenocarcinoma.
