An 11-year-old boy underwent laparotomy for intermittent intussusceptions because of a polypoid lesion located in the proximal jejunum. The polypoid lesion was diagnosed as heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM). Jejunal HGM is a very rare entity, and review of the literature revealed common characteristics in children with this pathologic condition. The usual presenting age is about 14 years, and the common clinical picture is intermittent intussusceptions. Jejunal HGM is usually polypoid and predominantly located within a few centimeters distal to ligament of Treitz. The aforementioned characteristics should suggest jejunal HGM be included in the differential diagnosis of jejunal polypoid lesions in children.
