Heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts (HGCs) of the oral cavity are rare benign lesions mimicking benign or malignant pathologies. These cysts are usually discovered during infancy but may not appear until well into adulthood. The epithelial lining of these cysts shows variable presentation with the presence of an enteric lining as an essential component. The histogenesis is related to entrapment ...

The etiology and histogenesis of granular cell tumor are still debated. Granular cell tumor of the newborn is considered to be a different entity than the adult form of this lesion with different immunohistochemical features. We present a case of a rare gingival granular cell tumor in a newborn and review the literature. Gingival granular cell tumor must be clinically differentiated from terato...

Heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon developmental anomaly of upper gastrointestinal tract. Heterotopic pancreas tissue is very rarely found in ileum. Intussusception in children is usually idiopathic, but definitive aetiology can be established in 90% of adult cases. We are reporting a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting as a lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception in a 1year 3month year...

Background and Aim: Ovarian torsion is one of the rare causes of emergency surgeries during pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare type of pregnancy characterized by embryo implantation in two different locations. occurence of these two complications at the same time is a very rare condition. In this study, we present a rare case of heterotopic pregnancy accompanied by ovarian torsion. Pat...

that is lying outside its normal location and it lacks any anatomic or vascular connections with the pancreas. It is also described as pancreatic heterotopia, a term coined by Barbosa et al. (1) in 1946. The frequency of heterotopic pancreas has been estimated to be 1 case per 500 explorations of the upper abdomen or 0.6-13.7% of autopsies (2). Heterotopic pancreatic tissue may be found anywher...

An oral foregut cyst is a rare congenital choristoma lined by the respiratory and/or gastrointestinal epithelium. The exact etiology has not been fully identified, but it is thought to arise from misplaced primitive foregut. This lesion develops asymptomatically but sometimes causes difficulty in swallowing and pronunciation depending on its size. Thus, the first choice of treatment is surgical...

Duodenal duplication cyst is a rare anomaly, totaling only 4% to 12% of gastrointestinal duplications, and is usually encountered during infancy or in early childhood. Most are commonly located posterior to the first or second portion of the duodenum. Presenting signs and symptoms include vomiting, decreased oral intake, periumbilical tenderness, abdominal distention, obstructive jaundice, acut...
