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...

Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) can occur in the foremidand hindgut and, conceivably, at any of their derivatives. The origin of HGM is either heterotopic (congenital) or metaplastic (acquired). The reported incidence of HGM in the endoscopic literature ranges from 0.29-10% but an incidence of up to 70% has been reported in autopsy studies. Heterotopic gastric mucosa patches have been reported...

Heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts of the oral cavity are benign lesions usually discovered during infancy. Their pathogenesis is not very clear. They are rare congenital anomalies that result from remnants of foregut-derived epithelium in the head, neck, thorax or abdomen during embryonic development. The majority of these lesions occur in the anterior ventral surface of the tongue and extend ...

Acupuncture at homotopic acupoints or heterotopic acupoints is known to either inhibit or facilitate gastrointestinal motility, depending on the acupoint location. However, little effort has been made to investigate the roles of specific receptors (such as adrenergic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors) in mediating the effects of acupuncture at heterotopic and homotopic acupoints. Different...

In this case presentation we aimed to discuss, with literature, a female patient with rarely seen sigmoid localized heterotopic gastric mucosa. An approximate 0.5 – 1 cm polyp was determined in the rectosigmoidoscopy of the 37-year-old female patient who had applied to the general surgery department with a constipation complaint. Heterotopic gastric mucosa was detected as a result of histopatho...

CONTEXT Heterotopic pancreas is defined as pancreatic tissue found out of the pancreas proper with no vascular or anatomical connection. It is a rare clinical entity and can be found at any portion of the alimentary system. CASE REPORT We describe a case of Meckel's diverticulum with heterotopic pancreas who presented massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding. CONCLUSION Lower gastrointestina...

Heterotopic grafting of murine corneas to the thoracic cage of recipient mice affords an opportunity to study the alloimmune rejection process in this well-characterized laboratory species. Immune rejection of cornea allografts can be reliably identified by direct visual, slit-lamp, and histologic observations. Virtually intact syngeneic corneal epithelium and stroma survive at the heterotopic ...
