Gastric epithelium in the duodenum

A H James
PMCID: PMC1413465  PMID: 14209910

Abstract

It has been found that a `gastric' type of epithelium tends to develop in the first part of the duodenum in patients with duodenal ulceration and is found in the second part of the duodenum in a patient with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is likely that `gastric' epithelium appears when the duodenal acidity is high and it is resistant to ulceration.
