Gastric heterotopia of the duodenum
Diagnosis in short

Gastric heterotopia in the duodenum. H&E stain.
LM foveolar epithelium, gastric glands (body-type or antral-type), small bowel mucosa +/-Brunner's glands
LM DDx foveolar metaplasia of the duodenum, foveolar gastric-type dysplasia, intestinal metaplasia of the stomach
Gross nodules/polyps
Site duodenum
Prevalence relatively common ~15%
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx duodenal polyp, duodenal ulcer, tumour/submucosal tumour, duodenal carcinoma, duodenitis

Gastric heterotopia of the duodenum is a relatively common finding of the duodenum.

General

Clinical DDx:[3]

Classification

According to Terada it can be subdivided into:[3]

  1. Foveolar epithelium with gastric pits
  2. Foveolar epithelium only.

Note:

  • This article considers the former (foveolar epithelium with gastric pits) as gastric heterotopia. The later (foveolar epithelium only) is dealt with in the context of peptic duodenitis.

Gross

  • Typically nodules/polyps.[4]

Microscopic

Features:

  1. Foveolar epithelium.
  2. Gastric glands - body-type or antral-type.
  3. Small bowel mucosa +/- Brunner's glands.
