Normal gastric mucosa has been found throughout the alimentary tract, ranging from scattered rests of cells to well formed mucosa with submucosal smooth muscle. Many terms have been applied to these collections; however, the term gastric choristoma seems most appropriate. We present a case of
OBJECTIVE
Heterotopy is defined as abnormal localization of well-differentiated tissue. Heterotopic tissues usually tend to be asymptomatic and noncomplicated but sometimes may cause serious clinical problems. Malignancy potential is the most important issue in this clinical entity. In this study we
Although Meckel's diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, it is often difficult to diagnose. It may remain completely asymptomatic, or it may mimic such disorders as Crohn's disease, appendicitis and peptic ulcer disease. Ectopic tissue, found in
We report a case of segmental dilatation of the ileum in a 10-month-old male infant. Intermittent loose black-colored stool passage and normocytic anemia were noted at the initial visits to our hospital. There was no symptom or sign of intestinal obstruction such as abdominal distention or vomiting.
A descriptive and retrospective study was realized during a period of eleven years from January 1983 to December 1993. There were found 101 cases, of which 75.25% were Meckel's diverticulum complicated. The incidence found was of 1.2%. The 89.5% of the complicated cases were less than 10 years old,
A case of Meckel's diverticulum is reported in an eight-day-old male baby, the youngest patient to have had this condition at National Taiwan University Hospital. The baby had been affected by bilious vomiting of 3 days' duration and abdominal distension before being brought to the hospital. A

OBJECTIVE
To clarify the status of segmental dilatation of the intestine (SD) using a nationwide retrospective cohort survey.

Heterotopic or ectopic tissue is a congenital anomaly, which is defined as the presence of the tissue outside its normal location, without neural, vascular, or anatomic connection with the main body of an organ in which it normally exists. This tissue is usually discovered incidentally and may be
This work is aimed at identifying factors associated with primary jejunum-ileal tumors malignancy, defining a prediction model with sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to distinguish malign from benign neoplasms. These tumors are rare, have highly unspecific presentation and, frequently, are
OBJECTIVE
Cystic dystrophy in heterotopic pancreas (CDHP), an uncommon but serious complication of dilatation of the ectopic pancreatic ducts of heterotopic pancreatic tissue, occurs most often in the second part of the duodenum. This disorder is difficult to diagnose and raises various therapeutic
Alimentary tract duplication is a rare congenital malformations. Sixteen patients admitted to our pediatric ward were enrolled in a ten-year study over the most recent decade. In this paper, we trace their history and retrospectively analyze sex, age, clinical presentations, duplication size and
The purpose of the study was to evaluate our experience with enteric duplication cysts in 40 children during the past 26 years, while assessing the variability of their presentations and to propose an algorithm for surgical management.
We retrospectively analysed sex, age, clinical presentations,
OBJECTIVE
Gastrointestinal tract duplications (GTD) are rare congenital abnormalities that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. These anomalies may present as a single, multiple, or a vague pathologies. Diagnosing and treating these diseases may be difficult in some patients. We
