Abstract

•It is important to differentiate this rare pathological feature of MD from other entities as the treatment is surgical rather than medical.•No pathognomonic clinical symptoms indicating MD has been reported.•Diagnosis usually is by a technetium Tc 99m-pertechnetate scanning.•The treatment of symptomatic MD is surgical resection (wedge resection of the MD or resection of ileum).•The heterotopic tissue is: gastric, pancreatic, jejuna, duodenal, colonic or hepatobiliary tissue.
