1/210. Symptomatic heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper oesophagus.

    The presence of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper oesophagus has been reported to occur in up to 10 per cent of individuals but it is usually asymptomatic. We present two patients with symptomatic oesophageal heterotopic gastric mucosa and discuss the aetiology, pathogenesis, and management of the condition.

2/210. Hemosuccus pancreaticus in a heterotopic jejunal pancreas.

    Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital anomaly defined as pancreatic tissue occurring outside its normal anatomical location, lacking both anatomic and vascular connections. Ninety percent of heterotopic pancreas is found in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms, when present, are normally non-specific and include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and bleeding. However, aberrant pancreas is not often recognized as patients are usually symptom-free. We report on a 29 year-old man with acute and severe gastrointestinal hemorrhage through the duct of an aberrant pancreas located in the upper jejunum, without clinical or histological evidence of pancreatic inflammation. We believe that our case is the first description of a pancreatic ductal hemorrhage in an aberrant pancreas.

3/210. A case of aberrant pancreatic cancer in the jejunum.

    We report a case of aberrant pancreatic cancer of the jejunum in a 63 year-old man. The patient was admitted to our hospital with epigastric discomfort and vomiting due to obstruction of the jejunum. laparotomy revealed a submucosal tumor on the jejunum with multiple liver metastases. Histological examination showed the tumor to be a well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma originating from aberrant pancreatic tissues lacking islets. Only 1 case of aberrant pancreatic cancer in the jejunum has been previously reported in the literature.

4/210. Ectopic thymic tissue: a cause of emphysema in infants.

    Ectopic thymic tissue can present a diagnostic dilemma when it is located in the posterior mediastinum. The diagnosis can be made by awareness of it and by use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Rarely, ectopic thymus are reported to cause airway obstruction. In infants ectopic thymic tissue should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of secondary pneumonias and emphysema especially located in the upper lung zones.

5/210. Tall cell variant of papillary carcinoma arising from ectopic thyroid tissue in the trachea.

    Ectopic thyroid tissue within the submucosa of the trachea is a rare cause of upper airway obstruction. Primary neoplasms arising from such thyroid nests are rare. This report describes a case of tall cell variant of papillary carcinoma arising from ectopic thyroid tissue in the trachea.

6/210. A review of heterotopia and associated salivary gland neoplasms of the head and neck.

    Salivary tissue neoplasms may involve normal, accessory and heterotopic salivary gland tissue. A case of Warthin's tumour originating from heterotopic salivary gland tissue of the upper neck is reported. The radioactive uptake of 131I, evidenced in the neck mass in its pre-diagnostic assessment, suggested a diagnosis of cervical node involvement from a primary malignant thyroid neoplasm. A critical review of the literature on heterotopic salivary gland tissue neoplasms of the head and neck is also presented.

7/210. Intrapulmonary ectopic liver.

    A case of intrapulmonary ectopic liver in a patient who had undergone right-sided diaphragmatic hernia is described. The intrapulmonary ectopic liver was found incidentally in chest x-ray at the age of 6 years. The final diagnosis was established at thoracotomy. Fewer than 10 cases of intrathoracic ectopic liver have been reported previously, but an intrapulmonary ectopic liver like the present case has not been described previously.

8/210. Cephalad renal ectopia, duplication of pelvicalyceal system and patent ductus arteriosus in an adult female.

    An unusual cause for a shadow in the plain CX-ray of a female with uncomplicated patent ductus arteriosus is presented herein. The chest CT scan and IVU revealed the presence of a high (cephalad) right kidney in an eventrated hemidiaphragm. A bifid ureter and duplication of the pelvis were found in the contralateral kidney. This constellation of anomalies is exceedingly rare.

9/210. Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus ("inlet patch"): a rare cause of esophageal perforation.

    We report the case of a 21-yr-old woman who presented with a perforation of an upper esophageal ulcer on a patch of gastric-type mucosa. Despite surgical closure of the perforation and reinforcement with a pleuro-muscular flap the patient developed an esophageal leakage and died in the postoperative period. Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus is usually an asymptomatic abnormality, discovered incidentally during endoscopic studies carried out for some other reason; however, complications secondary to the inlet patch acid secreting capacity can arise, and this has to be kept in mind to elude life-threatening conditions.

10/210. Recurrent pregnancy-related upper airway obstruction caused by intratracheal ectopic thyroid tissue.

    An unusual case of recurrent pregnancy-related thyroid growth stimulation is reported. A 27-year-old euthyroid woman had pulmonary symptoms, thought to be asthma during her first pregnancy, that improved postpartum. Bronchodilatators had no effect and symptoms recurred from gestational week 22 during her second pregnancy. Her 58-mL multinodular goiter (by ultrasound) was not thought to be responsible for her upper airway symptoms. Therefore, fiber laryngoscopy and computed tomographic (CT) scan were performed and revealed a 20 x 15 x 10 mm intratracheal tumor. After tracheostomy and microlaryngoscopy, benign goitrous thyroid tissue was removed through a tracheal fissure during gestational week 35. Postoperatively the patient had stopped medication and was without any pulmonary symptoms. The child was delivered by cesarean section in gestational week 39. apgar score was normal and the child has developed normally. We believe that this case illustrates the recurrent effect of pregnancy-related thyroid tissue stimulation by a combination of increasing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation and iodine deficiency in a borderline iodine-deficient region. This is the first report on symptomatic intratracheal ectopic thyroid tissue diagnosed during pregnancy.
