Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) has been described as an incidental finding in various parts of gastrointestinal tract. HGM of the small bowel is a congenital disorder with variable manifestations like bleeding, obstruction or perforation, penetration into adjacent organs, and fistulization. We present a case of a 55 year old female being evaluated for anemia associated with recurrent episodes of diarrhoea and dyspepsia. The cause was found to be HGM in thejejunum.
