CONGENITAL DUODENAL STENOSIS IN COMBINATI ON WITH ECTOPIC GASTRIC-MUCOSA

A hitherto unique case of ectopic gastric mucosa of the gallbladder in combination with a congenital duodenal stenosis in an young male adul t is presented and the etiology of both anomalies is elucidated. While the intestinal obstruction was confirmed prior to the operation, the diagnosis of the gastric heterotopia in the gallbladder has been estab lished, as usually, first by histopathologic examination. Both anomali es required surgical treatment. The long-standing indistinct abdominal complaints of the patient vanished after cholecystectomy and duodenoj ejunostomy.
