Abstract
We present computed tomographic (CT) and sonographic findings of heterotopi c gastric mucosa incidentally found in a 63-year-old male. CT showed a slig htly high density area in the gallbladder, which was intermediately enhance d early after bolus injection of contrast medium. Ultrasonography showed an echogenic sessile polyp. Histologically, the tumor consisted of gastric fu ndic glands containing parietal cells and chief cells.
