Core Tip	This study reports the prevalence, demographic, clinical and histologic features of heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) in Chinese patients. HGM was not commonly observed in the study population. Although malignant transformation was rare, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia within HGM should be carefully followed-up. Some clinical symptoms, although not specific, were helpful in screening for HGM.
