The current report describes a 3-week-old boy presenting with a gastric choristoma of the anterior compartment of the neck. Initial examination at birth found 3 masses in the anterior region of the neck. The only remarkable symptom consisted of episodes of cyanosis induced by neck flexion. The neck mass was removed after computed tomography scan assessment. Pathology finding showed the diagnosis of gastric choristoma. Cervical location of a gastric choristoma in children is rare. Its presentation as a clinically palpable anterior compartment cervical mass at birth even more rare.

Gastric cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and its diagnosis and management are of paramount importance. Ectopic pancreas (EP) refers to an embryological abnormality where healthy pancreatic tissue develops without anatomical, vascular, or neural communication with the normal pancreas. We report the case of a patient whose initial endoscopic evaluation suggested early gastric cancer, but computed tomography scan (CT scan) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) indicated a locally advanced tumor.

Background: Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus (HGMUE) is considered to be accompanied by pharyngolaryngeal symptoms, whereas the association strength between HGMUE and pharyngolaryngeal symptoms remains controversial. This study assessed the strength of the association between HGMUE and pharyngolaryngeal symptoms using a meta-analytic approach.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CNKI databases were searched for relevant articles published between January 2010 and January 2024.
Multiple Synchronous Thoracoabdominal Duplication Cysts With Ectopic Gastric Mucosa Detected on 99mTc-Pertechnetate Scintigraphy and SPECT/CT.

Thoracoabdominal duplication cysts are a congenital malformation of the posterior primitive foregut with synchronous thoracic and abdominal duplication cysts being found in up to 15% of cases. The presentation of duplication cysts depends on their location, size, and other factors, like the presence of ectopic functioning gastric mucosa, which is reported in 20%-30% of duplication cysts. 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy along with SPECT/CT helps in the preoperative localization of ectopic functioning gastric mucosa in these duplication cysts.
