Two animals were used in the present work. Periodic acid Schiff's (PAS) and Alcian blue were used for histochemical purposes. SOX9, gastrin, serotonin, and glucagon markers were traced immunohistochemically. The mucosa was extremely folded in the fundus with numerous opening of glands. The body and pylorus mucosa were almost smooth and equipped with gastric gland openings. A simple columnar epithelium covered the stomach entirely. Cardiac glands region was mucus secreting with both positive and negative reactions to PAS. Fundic mucosa was contained cardiac glands near to the cardia, and toward the body it was divided into the light and dark zones. These zones and body contained proper gastric gland, which constituted of parietal, chief, and mucous neck cells. These glands contained PAS\u2010positive cells on their basal portions. The pyloric glands were mucus secreting but negative for PAS. All gastric glands were Alcian blue\u2010negative, but epithelium showed moderate reaction especially in the pylorus. SOX and gastrin were express highly in the body and fundus. The expression of serotonin and glucagon was rare. Comparatively, some similarities between the stomach of hedgehog and dog can be assumed. The present findings provide additional information concerning the histochemical characteristics and endocrine cells distribution in the stomach of the southern white\u2010breasted hedgehog (<jats:italic>Erinaceus concolor<\/jats:italic>). Further detailed studies are required to enhance the current knowledge on histophysiology of the digestive system in this species as a pet and exotic animal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>The stomach was simple glandular type.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>The fundus was divided into light and dark zones similar to the dog.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>The proper gastric glands were periodic acid Schiff's positive at their basal parts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jemt.24137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]],"date-time":"2022-05-06T12:04:11Z","timestamp":1651838651000},"page":"2714-2728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Microanalysis of the stomach of southern white\u2010breasted hedgehog (<i>Erinaceus concolor<\/i>): Histological, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and scanning electron microscopic studies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Maryam","family":"Almasi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Razi University  Kermanshah Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4704-6076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nader","family":"Goodarzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences and Pathobiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Razi University  Kermanshah Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4067\/S0717-95022017000100040"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0264.2011.01081.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1439-0264.2000.00258.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00774-011-0273-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.200704152"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"115","article-title":"Histochemical assessment of mucin\u2010secreting cells from the gastric mucosa of Guinea pigs","volume":"77","author":"Chende A.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Bulletin UASVM Veterinary Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0264.1998.tb00211.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/function\/zqab062"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","first-page":"185","article-title":"Dellmann's textbook of veterinary histology","author":"Eurell J.
