    Ectopic gastric mucosa in the gallbladder can be incidental or symptomatic. Symptomatic cases showed more parietal cells compared to incidental ones, suggesting a link between cell morphology and clinical presentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • Its presence in the gallbladder is exceptionally uncommon.
    • Understanding its clinical and pathological spectrum is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of gallbladder EGM were analyzed.
    • Clinical presentations ranged from incidental findings to symptomatic disease.
    • Pathological examination revealed differences in parietal cell density between symptomatic and incidental cases.

    Findings:

    • Symptomatic EGM was associated with abundant parietal cells.
    • Incidental EGM exhibited sparse parietal cells.
    • These findings suggest a correlation between gastric heterotopia morphology and clinical manifestation.

    Implications:

    • The density of parietal cells in ectopic gastric mucosa may predict clinical symptoms.
    • Further research can elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms and clinical significance of gallbladder EGM.
    • This study contributes to the understanding of rare gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary anomalies.
