Abstract
A 12-year-old boy, operated on for remitting abdominal pain and hemato chezia, had an ileal duplication, with Helicobacter ''gastritis'' unde r a chronic peptic ulcer in the ectopic fundic gastric mucosa. We sugg est the Helicobacter infection might have played a role in the pathoge nesis of the inflammation and the peptic ulceration in this rare locat ion.
