Abstract

Variations in size, shape and position of stomach have been studied extensively by various workers. Diverticuli, volvulus and perigastric adhesions were also noted in the stomach by many investigators. Various morphogenic factors are responsible for controlling the development of the stomach. In the present case, along the greater curvature, a beak-like projection was found during routine dissection of a cadaver, which can be correlated with morphogenic factors affecting morphology of the stomach.
