The authors report the case of a 16-year-old man with recurrent abdominal pain. Ultrasonography showed two gallbladder polyps, one of them larger than 10 mm. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Histologic examination revealed gastric heterotopia. The authors discuss the clinical, pathophysiologic and histologic features of the present case and those reported in the literature.
