A choristoma is a tumor-like outgrowth consisting of heterotopic, histologically mature tissue located at an anatomically unusual part of the body. Salivary gland choristoma at the gastrointestinal junction (GEJ) is an extremely rare entity with only one other case reported in the literature. In this report, we present the case of an 87-year-old female with long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) history who was incidentally found to have salivary gland choristoma at GEJ through an upper endoscopy-guided biopsy. We suggest that the finding of salivary gland choristoma at the GEJ could be metaplasia secondary to the patient's long-standing history of GERD with esophagitis.
迷离瘤是一种肿瘤样增生,由位于身体解剖学异常部位的异位、组织学成熟组织组成。胃肠道交界处(GEJ)的涎腺迷离瘤是一种极其罕见的疾病,文献中仅报道过一例其他病例。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名87岁女性的病例,该患者有长期胃食管反流病(GERD)病史,通过上消化道内镜引导活检偶然发现GEJ处有涎腺迷离瘤。我们认为,在GEJ处发现涎腺迷离瘤可能是患者长期GERD伴食管炎继发的化生。
