Abstract:
Heterotopic gastric mucosa in upper esophagus (HGMUE) is a rare clinical condition, which is often associated with congenital agenesis. The diagnosis of HGMUE mainly depends on endoscopic and pathological examinations. The detection rate is increasing with the development of endoscopic techniques, however, there is no consensus on the duration of follow-up and therapeutic strategies for HGMUE and its clinical implication need to be further studied.
