Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to generalize the Brézis-Haraux theorem on the range of the sum of monotone operators from a Hilbert space to general Banach spaces. The result obtained provides that the range $\mathcal R(\overline {A+B}{}^\tau )$ is topologically almost equal to the sum $\mathcal R(A)+\mathcal R(B)$ where $\tau$ is a compatible topology in $X^{**}\times X^*$ as proposed by Gossez. To illustrate the main result we consider some basic properties of densely maximal monotone operators.
