Article Abstract
Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) is a rare anomaly in the small bowel and may be the cause of intussusception when it gets a lead point in the jejunum. All cases of intussusception due to intestinal HGM have been treated with surgical resection. A 5-year-old girl presented with chief complaints of vomiting and abdominal pain for 2 weeks. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed intussusception at the proximal jejunal loops. Three air reductions and one saline reduction were attempted without success. She continued to be symptomatic, and endoscopic evaluation was performed. Enteroscopy revealed some variable-sized polypoid mucosal lesions with erosions on the proximal jejunum. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed using a snare. The resected tissues histologically showed a hyperplastic polyp arising from the HGM. Her symptoms did not recur within 1 year after the treatment. Our case showed that enteroscopy could be useful for the diagnosis and management of jejunal intussusception caused by HGM.

Objective Reflux esophagitis (RE) is caused by gastroesophageal acid reflux, whereas the heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) of the cervical esophagus often shows acid secretion. This study investigated whether an intra-esophageal acidic condition in patients with RE or HGM prevents the occurrence of esophageal candidiasis. Materials We enrolled 5,221 adults (males/females: 3,260/1,961, mean age 54.

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital malformation of various shapes and origins and is usually asymptomatic, which can simulate benign tumors on imaging, so diagnosis usually requires biopsy or surgical resection. We present a young woman with abdominal distension who was found to have a gastric mass that was suspected to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) by gastroscopy and enhanced CT. 68Ga-NOTA-RM26 PET/CT, a novel imaging modality targeting the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), also showed intense uptake in the mass.

Heterotopic pancreas is a rare, benign condition characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue outside its normal anatomical location, and its association with malignancy is extremely rare. Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP), also a rare condition, is the cystic formation of gastric glands in the stomach submucosa and/or muscularis propria. We present the case of a 65-year-old male with who presented to the emergency department (ED) with 6 day history of worsening epigastric pain and nonbloody emesis.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the clinicopathological features of pediatric Meckel's diverticulum (MD) and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of imaging modalities, with particular emphasis on the role of heterotopic mucosa.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 111 surgically confirmed pediatric MD cases from 2017 to 2023 at a tertiary pediatric center. Patients were stratified into heterotopic and non-heterotopic groups based on histopathological findings.
