Description
Summary:A case of a heterotopic gastric cyst of the oral cavity is described and a review of the literature, with emphasis on the possible etiological theories of this rare lesion, is presented.

Surgical treatment is the preferred choice of treatment, and CO 2 laser is a safe alternative surgical approach for the removal of this lesion.
