Hepatolithiasis associated with intrahepatic heterotopic pancreas: a case report and literature review

چکیده
UNLABELLED Intrahepatic heterotopic pancreas is rarely reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of a 39-year-old male with intrahepatic heterotopic pancreas associated with primary cholesterol hepatolithiasis. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed multiple cholesterol stones in intrahepatic bile ducts of the left lobe concomitant with intrahepatic cholangiectases. These observations were confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopaneretography (MRCP). The patient underwent transabdominal left hepatic lobectomy. Postoperative histological examination of the resected specimen showed pancreatic tissues distributed along the wall of the bile duct and composed of acinar cells and duct elements without islets of Langerhans, therefore strongly suggesting that the heterotopic pancreas occurred in response to chronic injury due to the primary cholesterol hepatolithiasis and was derived from the biliary epithelial cells.

Heterotopic Pancreas- an Unusual Cause of Ileoileal Intussusception: a Case Report
Heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon developmental anomaly of upper gastrointestinal tract. Heterotopic pancreas tissue is very rarely found in ileum. Intussusception in children is usually idiopathic, but definitive aetiology can be established in 90% of adult cases. We are reporting a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting as a lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception in a 1year 3month year...
متن کاملHeterotopic Pancreas as a Leading Point of Intussusception: A Case Report
Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is generally asymptomatic and found incidentally. It can act very rarely as a leading point for intussusception. Thus, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of the mass lesions leading to the intestinal intussusception. Herein, we report an unusual case of HP as a cause of ileocolic intussusception.

BACKGROUND Perivascular epithelioid-cell tumor (PEComa) is a group of rare mesenchymal neoplasms that express myomelanocytic-cell markers and exhibit a wide variety of histopathological features. Although heterotopic pancreas has been reported to occur in the gastrointestinal tract, intrahepatic heterotopic pancreas has been reported only rarely. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of intrahe...
متن کاملSolid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas: a Case Report and Literature of Review
Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT) are rare tumors of the pancreas with low malignancy potential and a very good prognostic outcome after surgery. The outcome after radical resection is favourable. A case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas in a 20-year-old woman is presented. The patient underwent resection of the mass in the pancreatic head and pancreaticoduod...

CONTEXT The development of pancreatic tissue outside the confines of the main gland represents a congenital abnormality referred to as heterotopic pancreas. This is a rare pathological and surgical entity which remains mostly asymptomatic. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 28-year-old male, who was admitted to hospital because of a history of blood in bowel movements. After a normal gastro...
