While intra-abdominal cysts found on prenatal imaging are not uncommon, we examine a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting in an abdominopelvic cyst on prenatal imaging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In summary, we present the cytologic findings obtained by EUS-FNA of a patient with heterotopic pancreas seated deeply as a solid mass in the gastric wall. [saudijgastro.com]

CASE REPORT The following index cases depict two unusual presentations of pancreatic heterotopia. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

• Soft Tissue Mass

  CT and later also PET-CT revealed a large soft tissue mass with avid accumulation of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose surrounding the distal esophagus. [infona.pl]

• Noncompliance

  The surgeon accessed the mediastinum through the left thoracotomy and found a noncompliant well-defined mass surrounding the distal esophagus. Intraoperative histology showed nothing but common structures of pancreatic tissue. [infona.pl]

• Lower Abdominal Pain

  Case Report A previously healthy 38-year-old female presented to our institution for evaluation of episodic hematochezia and intermittent crampy lower abdominal pain. [karger.com]

• Early Satiety

  CASE REPORT A Forty-five-year-old male presented with a six week history of early satiety, vomiting, and constipation consistent with gastric outlet obstruction. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

• Coffee Ground Emesis

  While in the emergency room, he suffered an episode of heme-positive "coffee-ground" emesis, but refused nasogastric lavage. [thefreelibrary.com]

• Murphy's Sign

  On physical examination, the right upper abdomen was tender to palpation with a positive Murphy's sign. Abdominal ultrasonographic examination showed multiple gallstones within a thin-walled gallbladder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  On physical examination, the abdomen was tender to palpation and Murphy sign was positive. The patient underwent a cholecystecomy. [wjgnet.com]

• Leg Pain

  He presented to the emergency room following several days of severe leg pain, for which he had taken analgesics without relief of his symptoms. [thefreelibrary.com]

• Rabies

After comprehensive preoperative workup, the soft tissue mass was treated surgically according to intraoperative histology that revealed its benign nature. [infona.pl]

Such malignant transformation in ectopic pancreas, though rare, should be included in the diagnostic workup of gastric submucosal masses. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

A primary pancreatic tumor was excluded on preoperative imaging procedures, during surgery and on through diagnostic workup after surgery using computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in all cases. [nature.com]

The etiology of ectopic pancreatic tissue is not yet clear, but it is believed to result from early separation of the pancreas during rotation of the gastrointestinal tract in the embryonic period [ 31 ]. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

Both conservative treatment and follow-up or removal of HP to prevent future complications is the recommended treatment options. Resection of the ectopic rest is advisable when the condition is encountered coincidentally during the operation. [tropicalgastro.com]
