Diagnosing Heterotopic Gastric Mucosa

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video tip, sponsored by Braintree, discusses a rare lesion found in the distal rectum. It is not a tubular adenoma or a sessile serrated lesion and is often associated with rectal symptoms, including bleeding. The lesion, known as heterotopic gastromucosa, can have various shapes and is typically resected when identified. Although more common in the esophagus and duodenum, it is found in the distal rectum and has been reported in pediatric patients. Removal is recommended due to symptoms and potential cancer risk, although the association is not well-established.
