Abstract

An ectopic pancreas is defined as pancreatic tissue lacking vascular or anatomic communication with the normal body of the pancreas. It is rarely symptomatic as it is found incidentally at laparotomy most of the time. Despite advances in diagnostic modalities, it still remains a challenge to the clinician to differentiate it from a neoplasm. It is prudent to differentiate it from neoplastic etiologies, as simple surgical excision can potentially be curative. We discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an interesting case of ectopic pancreas presenting as a gastric antral tumor.

Keywords: classification of ectopic pancreas; ectopic pancreas; gastric antral tumor; gastric outlet obstruction; heterotopic pancreas; microscopy of ectopic pancreas; pancreatic heterotopia
