Abstract:【Objective】 Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) in duodenum is a rare congenital embryonic residual lesion, and patients always show the symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD) or chronic gastritis in clinical. As a result, it has a huge misdiagnosis rate. In this paper, we analyzed 135 cases of HGM in duodenum and investigated the characteristics of its diagnosis and treatment. 【Methods】 The patients received gastroscope , who had symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD) or chronic gastritis and endoscopic resection, pathological examination when HGM in duodenum was found. At the same time, helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection was analyzed and symptom score was recorded before and after treatment using Glasgow score. 【Results】 In all 4650 patients, there were 135 patients (2.9%) who were diagnosed of HGM in duodenum. The main symptoms of these patients were epigastric discomfort, acid reflux, bloating and so on. According to the Rome Ⅲ standard classification, 92 cases (69.2%) could be diagnosed postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and 43 (31.8%) epigastric pain syndrome (EPS). HGM of the duodenum was mainly located in the duodenal bulb (93.3%) and descending part was rare (6.7%). The morphology ismainly divided into 4 types: the multiple nodular uplift is the most common (57%), single polyp or multiple granular uplift (34.1%) are the second, and ulcerative (6.7%) and mess (2.2%) type are rare. The last two types are easily misdiagnosed as peptic ulcer or tumor because their morphology are not typical. It is meaningful to distinguish the atypical HGM using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The performance under the EUS is hypoechoic mass in the submucosa, having anechoic shadow in it, but these characteristics are easily misdiagnosed as ectopic pancreas sometimes. It is helpful for improving the symptom by resecting the HGM under the endoscopy. 【Conclusion】 HGM in duodenum is the reason why the symptoms in part of patients with FD or chronic gastritis attack repeatedly. And it is helpful for improving the symptom by resecting the HGM under the endoscopy.
