A case of heterotopic antral mucosa presenting as a typical gastric fold, located in the duodenal bulb, is described. Heterotopic gastric mucosa consisting mainly of fundic-type epithelium is commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract and predominantly in the cervical esophagus and the duodenal bulb. Heterotopic gastric mucosa composed of antral-type epithelium, especially of the size described here, is an extremely rare condition. A knowledge of these lesions is clinically relevant in the differential diagnosis at endoscopy of the upper tract.
