Abstract
We report a case of gastric adenomyoma in a 1-month-old girl. This patient presented
with gastric outlet obstruction simulating infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
Histologic examination of the excised specimen showed irregularly arranged glands
and interlacing smooth muscle bundles surrounding the glandular elements. We suggest
that this lesion is not just heterotopia, but hamartoma composed of abnormal mixture
of endoderm-derived epithelial component and mesoderm-derived smooth muscle.
