title="Asymptomatic gastric heterotopia in the rectum with Helicobacter pylori infection",
abstract="Gastric heterotopia is very rare in the rectum – less than 50 cases have been reported so far. Only in six of them  Helicobacter pylori  has been observed in heterotopic mucosa. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with asymptomatic gastric heterotopia in the rectum, incidentally revealed during colonoscopy as a small, sessile polyp. The presence of  H. pylori  was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. This finding supports the opinion that  H. pylori  may pass along the gastrointestinal tract in a viable form and that the fecal-oral route of transmission is possible.",
