Abstract:
Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) involving the rectum is an uncommon finding. It is especially rare in young children. Rectal prolapse is an uncommon presentation of HGM. We report a case of HGM in the rectum of a 2-year-old previously healthy girl, who presented with rectal prolapse and painless bleeding. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed to completely resect the lesion after the patient failed to respond to proton pump inhibitors. This case underscores the importance of considering HGM involving the rectum as a cause of rectal prolapse in young pediatric patients.
