“…Heterotopic tissue of various types in the gallbladder has been reported in the literature, including gastric mucosa, pancreatic tissue, liver tissue, and others such as adrenal and thyroid tissue 7 . Heterotopic gastric mucosa is described almost every location in the gastrointestinal tract, from the oral cavity to the rectum [8][9] . The first case of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the gallbladder was reported in 1934 10 .…”

Heterotopia is mass of tissue normal to the site in abnormal location. Heterotopic gastric mucosa has been described in almost every part of the gastrointestinal tract including the tongue, oesophagus, epiglottis, small bowel, appendix vermiformis, rectum and gallbladder. The diagnosis of heterotopic gastric mucosa in gallbladder can be difficult clinically . Heterotopic gastric mucosa in gallbladder can be symptomatic or detected incidentally. It is relevant to distinguish heterotopic gastric mucosa from benign polyps, gallbladder carcinoma or metastasis. We present a case of a 51 year old female patient who represented suspicious lesion on computed tomography (CT). After cholecystectomy, in the microscopical examination gastric mucosa consisting of fundic glands and pyloric glands and typical features of chronic cholecystitis are seen.

“…Further types of congenital cyst characterized by an abnormal epithelial differentiation are the very rare dermoid cyst (Falcao and Leal 1975) and mesothelial cyst (Hoffman et al 1989). Heterotopic gastrointestinal mucosa of the gallbladder has been found to form a cystic choristoma (Popkharitov et al 2008). Intra-abdominal bronchogenic cyst has been detected alongside the gallbladder (Kim et al 2004).…”

The gallbladder is the site of various types of cysts that can mimic cystic neoplasms. Gallbladder cysts have been classified as congenital, acquired, and neoplastic cysts. Congenital cysts mainly include congenital simple epithelial cysts, ciliated foregut cyst, dermoid cysts, cystic choristomas derived from ectopic gastric mucosa, mesothelial cysts, duplication cysts, and bronchogenic cysts. Simple cysts may have a muscular wall but are not communicating with the gallbladder lumen. Acquired cysts are retention cysts, dilated Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses, adenomyomatosis, cystic changes of fistulas, cystic abscesses, inflammatory pseudocysts, and parasitic cysts. Retention cysts are caused by obstructive gallbladder changes induced by stones, tumors, or sludge.

“…Adenocarcinoma with eosinophilic cells and non-overlapping low-grade nuclei arising from heterotopic gastric mucosa in the duodenal bulb has been reported as a new tumor entity [34] . The first gastrointestinal cyst choristoma with endocrine cells in the cystic duct and gallbladder was reported in 2008 [35] .…”

Hemobilia is very rare in the pediatric population, and so it continues to be a diagnostic challenge. Hemobilia is an abnormal communication between a vessel of the splanchnic circulation and the biliary system. Treatment planning for hemobilia in children should be performed; therefore, the differential diagnosis is very important in order to find the cause of the upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Awareness of potential causes and the management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and hemobilia should enable physicians to treat their patients more effectively. This study is a review of potential etiologies of hemobilia and the challenges involved in the diagnosis and surgical management of massive hemobilia, especially in children.
