Abstract
- Heterotopic pancreas, a developmental anomaly uncommonly noted both during operations and autopsies, is usually described in each instance as an incidental finding, Precise diagnosis can be made more often now by endoscopy. Rarely heterotopic pancreas can cause intra-abdominal hemorrhage or obstruction. We experienced a very rare case in which aberrant pancreas located at the Ampulla of Vater was found to be the cause of partial obstruction of the comon bile duct. Diagnosis was done by duodenoscopy and biopsy. So, we report a case of heterotopic pancreas at the Ampulla of Vater diagnosed by endoscopy with a review of relevant literatures.
