the forestomach. Ectopic tissue can be of any type, but pancreas (Figure 1 and Figure 2), liver (Figure 3 and Figure 4), and intestine (Figure 5) are common. In some cases, it can be associated with
hyperplasia of the overlying squamous epithelium. With ectopic intestine, the presence of gutassociated
lymphoid tissue should not be mistaken for inflammation. Ectopic tissue is considered an
incidental finding.
