ABSTRACT
The clinical data of a child with congenital ectopic gastric mucosa and infections admitted to Wuhan Children′s Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in May 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.The child was a female who presented to the doctor with " phlegm in the throat with mild cough for more than 1 month" at the age of 1 month and 27 days.The pleural biopsy showed that the gastrointestinal mucosa tissue submitted for examination resembled the gastric mucosa under the microscope.The patient was diagnosed with pleural ectopic gastric mucosa.The child was discharged after her conditions improved.Twenty four days after the discharge, she returned to the hospital due to hemoptysis once.Closed thoracic drainage, partial lobectomy, thoracoscopic resection of mediastinal lesions and thoracoscopic conversion were then performed.In chest exploration, gastric mucosa-like tissue was seen on the top of the left pleura.The first case of pediatric pleural ectopic gastric mucosa in China was analyzed in this study.The results suggested that chest exploration should be performed on children with cough and hemoptysis if necessary to confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the location value of preoperative SPECT/CT fusion imaging in ectopic gastric mucosa lesions.Methods Twenty-five children with ectopic gastric mucosa were examined with SPECT/CT.Patients who had fixed abnormal uptake lesions in abdomen within 20 min of the dynamic planar imaging underwent SPECT/CT and image fusion at the end of 20 min.The localization results of lesions by SPECT/CT fusion imaging were compared with intraoperative findings.Results Twenty-five patients with positive planar imaging underwent tomography fusion imaging,and then positive findings were noticed in 17 patients,among them 14 patients' intraoperative findings had high consistency with location of lesions of tomography fusion imaging (Kappa =0.746,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion SPECT/CT fusion imaging can locate ectopic gastric mucosa lesions accurately and has high application value.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance enterography(MRE)and ectopic gastric mucosa imaging(EGMI)in children with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data including gender,age,amount of bleeding and preoperative minimum hemoglobin(Hb)levels of 54 children with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage were collected,who received surgical exploration in Department of Pediatric Surgery,Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital between February 2014 and April 2016.Children were divided into lesion group and non-lesion group according to the findings of surgical exploration.Lesion group were defined as children with Meckel's diverticulum(MD)or duplication of the small intestine by surgery and postoperative pathological findings.A total of 36 cases,25 cases of boys,11 cases of girls,aged(2.86±1.59)years old.Non-lesion group were defined as children,who underwent operation with negative result or with lesions but not MD or duplication of the small intestine.A total of 18 cases,14 cases of boys,4 cases of girls,aged(3.87±1.62)years old.MRE and EGMI were performed when the children stopped bleeding,before the inspection,should fasting for 4-6 h.SPSS 13.0 software was used for statistical processing.The evaluation of EGMI,MRE and the both in diagnosing MD or duplication of the small intestine were conducted by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC).According to the principles of biggest gain best diagnostic value by Youden index,and the degree of sensitivity and specificity was calculated at this time,P0.05).There were statistically significant differences in age,amount of bleeding and preoperative minimum hemoglobin levels(t=2.179,2.027,2.222,all P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in classification comparison by EGMI and MRE between 2 groups(x2=15.226,29.121,all P<0.01).The optimal cut-off value of EGMI and MRE in the diagnosis of enteric malformation was more than level 3,and the suspected positive and being positive value was assigned as positive results.According to the cut-off value above,EGMI,MRE and EGMI plus MRE in series and in parallel in the diagnosis of enteric malformation,the areas under curves(AUC)were 0.809,0.917,0.750 and 0.847,respectively.The sensitivity was 61.1％,75.0％,55.6％and 80.6％,respectively.The specificity was 90.4％,94.4％,94.4％and 88.9％,respectively.The Youden's indexes were 0.515,0.694,0.500 and 0.695,respectively.The optimal cut-off value of age and preoperative minimum hemoglobin levels in the diagnosis of enteric malformation were 2.92 years and 80 g/L,respectively.The AUC was 0.761 and 0.672.The Youden's indexes were 0.515 and 0.333.There was no significant differences statistically in AUC compared with age,MRE and EGMI(all P<0.05).Conclusions The high diagnostic value in children with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage is found by using MRE and EGMI.Then,MRE as a separate diagnosis method is also worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
An esophageal inlet patch is a congenital anomaly composed of heterotropic gastric mucosa at or just distal to upper esophageal sphincter. Most often it is asymptomatic or presents as complications of acid secretion. The diagnosis is confirmed by endoscopy with biopsy. We have presented a case of 67 years old female who complained of nausea and decreased appetite. Endoscopy showed an elevated mucosal structure with superficial ulceration in the upper third of esophagus. Histopathology confirmed presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. We have presented this case as it is not diagnosed often and it is important to identify it as it helps the treatment and rarely has a malignant potential.
ABSTRACT
A mucosa gástrica heterotópica (MGH) é uma entidade rara, com malignização incomum, descrita em todo o trato gastrointestinal e fora dele. O relato é de uma mulher de 37 anos, com queixa de dor epigástrica associada a vômitos pós-prandiais com três meses de evolução, causado por MGH localizada na quarta porção duodenal. Submetida à ressecção do seguimento acometido, encontra-se em acompanhamento sem queixas ou sinais de recidiva. A MGH deve ser lembrada como um diagnóstico diferencial nos sangramentos e obstruções duodenais; a ressecção endoscópica ou cirúrgica, se factível, deve ser realizada com o intuito terapêutico.
The heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) is a rare event, with uncommon malignant, described throughout the gastrointestinal tract and beyond. The report is about a 37 years-old female, with epigastric pain associated with postprandial vomiting with three months of evolution, caused by HGM located in the fourth portion of the duodenum. The patient underwent resection of the affected segment and since then there has been no complaints or signs of recurrence. The HGM should be remembered as a differential diagnosis in bleeding and duodenal obstruction. The endoscopic or surgical resection, if feasible, should be performed with therapeutic purposes.

Se comunica un caso de heterotopia gástrica en rectosigmoides con sangrado rectal como manifestación clínica, por lo que se efectuó la revisión bibliográfica del tema. Caso: Varón de 21 años de edad con rectorragia de una semana de evolución. Durante el estudio del caso se tomaron biopsias de lesiones ulceradas en mucosa rectal, que fueron enviadas para su estudio histopatológico. Resultados: En la muestra recibida se observaron fragmentos entremezclados de mucosa de colon y mucosa gástrica de tipo oxíntico (fúndica) cuyos adenómeros se hallaban en estrecha relación con las criptas de Lieberkühn. Conclusión: La heterotopia gástrica es un hallazgo infrecuente, más aún cuando se observa en segmentos muy apartados en el colon distal. Suele acarrear un curso indolente y benigno, sin embargo, en ocasiones conlleva ciertas malformaciones asociadas o complicaciones derivadas de la misma actividad secretora fisiológica del tejido ectópico. Raramente puede experimentar malignización.
We report a case of gastric heterotopia in the rectum and sigmoid colon clinically presented as rectal bleeding; a review of the literature on the topic is also presented. Case: Twenty-one-year-old male who had experienced rectal bleeding for one week. biopsies from ulcerated lesions in the rectum were taken and sent forward for histopathological assessment. Results: In the sample received, fragments of colon mucosa and oxyntic (fundus) gastric mucosa, which adenomeres were closely related to the crypts of Lieberkuhn. Conclusion: Gastric heterotopia is an unusual finding, even less common when it is located in distant segments of the distal colon. Although usually being a condition with an indolent and benign evolution, it may also produce certain malformations o complications, consequence of the same secretory activity of the ectopic tissue. It rarely becomes a malignant disease.
ABSTRACT
A 13-year-old female patient with a mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen for 2 months were admitted to the Southwest Hospital on February 1,2009.She was first misdiagnosed as with congenital choledochal cyst,while further examination revealed that there was no relationship between the cyst and bile duct,so exploratory laparotomy was carried out.The cyst was located at the mesentery,and was confirmed as abdominal cyst developed from the oesophagus and ectopic gastric mucosa.
ABSTRACT
Ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) is considered to be a congenital condition. Rare cases of adenocarcinoma have been described. There are no data justifying regular biopsies or follow-up. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a protein involved in gastrointestinal tumor development by inhibiting apoptosis and regulating angiogenesis. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate COX-2 expression in EGM and compare it with normal tissue and Barrett's esophagus. We evaluated 1327 patients. Biopsies were taken from the inlet patch for histological evaluation and from the gastric antrum to assess Helicobacter pylori infection. Biopsies taken from normal esophageal, gastric antrum and body mucosa and Barrett's esophagus were retrieved from a tissue bank. EGM biopsies were evaluated with respect to type of epithelium, presence of H. pylori, and inflammation. COX-2 was detected by immunohistochemistry using the avidin-biotin complex. EGM islets were found in 14 patients (1.1 percent). Histological examination revealed fundic type epithelium in 58.3 percent of cases, H. pylori was present in 50 percent and chronic inflammation in 66.7 percent. Expression of COX-2 was negative in normal distal esophagus, normal gastric antrum and normal gastric body specimens (10 each). In contrast, EGM presented over-expression of COX-2 in 41.7 percent of cases and Barrett's esophagus in 90 percent of cases (P = 0.04 and 0.03, respectively). COX-2 immunoexpression in EGM was not related to gender, age, epithelium type, presence of inflammation or intestinal metaplasia, H. pylori infection, or any endoscopic finding. Our results demonstrate up-regulation of COX-2 in EGM, suggesting a possible malignant potential of this so-called harmless mucosa.
