Pancreatic Heterotopia (Case Report)

Abstract

Pancreatic heterotopia (PH) is a rare congenital anomaly that is also known as ectopic pancreas or pancreatic choristoma. It is usually asymptomatic but rarely may cause abdominal pain, lower gastrointestinal bleeding or intussusception. This report describes two cases of PH: a 9-month-old boy presented with intussusception and a 6-year-old girl presented with a jejuno-colic inflammatory mass. Surgical excision of PH cured both of them.
