Meckel diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal system. Although most Meckel diverticula are asymptomatic, they can also present with bleeding, obstruction, or perforation. Helicobacter pylori is pathognomonic for the development of a peptic ulcer. We present a case report of a patient with a Meckel diverticulum with Helicobacter pylori colonising its heterotopic gastric mucosa. This is a rare histopathologic finding. We also reviewed the literature of other similar cases published in English.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) has been described as an incidental finding in various parts of gastrointestinal tract. HGM of the small bowel is a congenital disorder with variable manifestations like bleeding, obstruction or perforation, penetration into adjacent organs, and fistulization. We present a case of a 55 year old female being evaluated for anemia associated with recurrent episodes of diarrhoea and dyspepsia. The cause was found to be HGM in thejejunum.
