A case of a heterotopic gastric cyst of the oral cavity is described and a review of the literature, with emphasis on the possible etiological theories of this rare lesion, is presented. This developmental lesion is found more commonly in males. It most likely arises from misplaced embryonal tissue. Surgical treatment is the preferred choice of treatment, and CO2 laser is a safe alternative surgical approach for the removal of this lesion.
This case of ectopic pancreas found in the pre-pyloric channel of a 2-day-old infant is unique. A review of the literature reveals no other cases of symptomatic ectopic pancreas in an infant of this age. In this patient, signs and symptoms were consistent with pyloric stenosis. Upper gastrointestinal study and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed the diagnosis. This case is examined and the literature is reviewed.
