I have a few points with a pathological, since correlation is key. I hope nobody finds it objectionable smiling face
1.MD is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the GIT
2.Ectopic tissue is found in approx 50% cases (gastric tissue->60-85%cases & pancreatic tissue-> 5-16%)
3.Other tissues are duodenal, jejunal, colonic, rectal, pancreatic, hepatic and endometrial; however, these occurrences are quite rare and are not in reports of complications
