The authors report a case of polypoid heterotopic gastric mucosa in the ileum presenting as intussusception with hypochromic anemia in a 6 year-old boy. Tumorous heterotopic gastric mucosa in the small bowel is very uncommon. So far 22 similar cases have been published in the literature. This congenital intestinal anomaly is discovered in one third of the cases during the first decade. In 9 of 23 cases gastric heterotopia was diagnosed after an ileal resection for intussusception induced by the heterotopia presenting as a pedunculated or sessile polyp. In our case the great number of the polypoid formations is exceptional and has not been previously described.

Hematologic reference values have been established for captive adult red-bellied tamarins (Saguinus labiatus) by carrying out full blood counts and fibrinogen estimations on 25 clinically normal animals. The only significant sex difference detected was in the reticulocyte count which was higher in females than in males. The reference values were used to identify abnormal changes in the blood of nine clinical cases. Hypochromic anemia, neutrophilia, and raised fibrinogen levels were found in animals with self-inflicted injuries, dermatitis, and ileocecal intussusception. Target cells and jaundiced plasma were noted in a case of yersiniosis. Two animals in which generalized muscle wasting was the main abnormal clinical sign were severely anemic, and in one of these cases a significant number of Heinz bodies was present. The findings in these two animals were compared with those in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) with possible wasting marmoset syndrome.
