Abstract

A case of gastric heteropia of the glossoepiglottic region in a 13-day-old girl is described. In addition to fundic-type mucosa, all main parts of the gastric wall were present. An additional case of gastric heteropia in the rectum was found in a 14-year-old boy. The mucosa was lined with a muscularis mucosae. Adjacent to this ectopia was a large peptic ulcer. Previously reported cases of gastric heterotopias are reviewed.
