title: Ectopic gastric mucosa causing dysphagia due to strictures in a boy.
abstract: Ectopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus has been reported previously in neonatal autopsy series and encountered in adult esophagoscopies. Despite the usual asymptomatic course of the disease, symptomatic adults have been reported. However there is no report of a symptomatic child with ectopic gastric mucosa in the literature. A 12-year-old boy presenting with dysphagia due to strictures resulting from circular patches of ectopic gastric mucosa located in the mid esophagus is reported.
