One Case With Heterotopic Gastric Mucosa Treated With Cimetidine

John C. Collins, Jr, MD

Arch Surg. 1980;115(1):83-84.

Abstract
• The first known use of the H2-receptor antagonist cimetidine (Tagamet) in a case of a Meckel's diverticulum containing heterotopic gastric mucosa with ileal ulceration and hemorrhage is reported. The interim use of cimetidine facilitated the performance of elective diverticulectomy for the indication of lifethreatening hemorrhage.
