Giant polypoid gastric heterotopia of the jejunum presenting with intermittent intussusception.
We report the case of a 17-year-old female with symptoms of intermittent small bowel obstruction. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed an intussusception. The patient underwent a laparoscopic-assisted resection of the mass, which proved to be gastric heterotopia of the jejunum. We report on the case, discuss the surgical approach, and review the pertinent literature.
