Heterotopia (medicine)

Microfoto of a gastric mucosal heterotopy in the duodenum . HE staining .

In medicine , heterotopia means functional, i.e. correctly formed and functioning tissue that is not in the anatomically usual localization.

Examples are:

Parathyroid tissue in the mediastinum
Spleen tissue in the abdominal cavity ( accessory spleen )
Sebum glands such as the Fordyce glands (in the mouth or genital area)
Neural heterotopias (in the central nervous system ) ( focal subcortical heterotopia , subependymal heterotopia )
urogenital and intestinal cysts
glial heterotopias, e.g. B. nasal
Starting points of irritation disorders located at an atypical point in the heart .

With the term dystopia , the disturbed localization is placed in the foreground in terms of meaning - otherwise the terms are also used synonymously .
