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

General

Clinical DDx:[4]

Classification

According to Terada it can be subdivided into:[4]

  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.[5]

Microscopic

Features:

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