  • Title: Ectopic gastric mucosa in the cervical esophagus presenting as a recurrent neck abscess: a case report.
    Author: Daher P, Francis E, Raffoul L, Riachy E.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2010 Jun; 45(6):e15-7. PubMed ID: 20620294.
    Abstract:
    We report a unique case of ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) in the cervical esophagus. The patient presented with a recurrent cervical abscess communicating through a fistula with the EGM. Surgical treatment consisted of complete excision. The postoperative course was complicated by a breach in the hypopharynx, which was treated conservatively, and a stenosis of the esophagus requiring balloon dilation.
