Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Heterotopic gastric mucosa found within the oral cavity has been reported as a rare occurrence with less than 30 cases in the English literature. We propose that this entity may not be as rare as originally described. METHOD: Five cases of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the oral cavity were collected from three institutions. RESULTS: Five new cases of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the oral cavity were confirmed. CONCLUSIONS: Heterotopic gastric mucosa of the oral cavity may not be as rare as originally thought.
