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 old boy.

Heterotopic pancreas presenting as ileoileal intussusception

Heterotopic, aberrant or ectopic pancreas is defined as the presence of pancreatic tissue in topographic anomaly, with no anatomical, neural or vascular connection to the normal pancreas. It is a rare condition found mainly in stomach, duodenum and jejunum. Ileal heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon condition and has been rarely reported in children so far. Hereby we report a case of heterotopic...

Heterotopic 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.

Isolated ileal heterotopic pancreas in a child: A clinically undetected cause of ileoileal intussusception

Introduction: Pancreatic heterotopia has been described most frequently in stomach and duodenum. Isolated occurrence of heterotopic pancreas in ileum is exceptional and is usually discovered incidentally during surgery. In rare cases, heterotopic pancreas has been reported as a lead point of ileoileal intussusception. Case Report: A one-year-old boy was presented with recent onset of constipati...

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp: An Unusual Cause of Ileoileal Intussusception

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP), or Vanek's tumor, is a rare benign lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical manifestations of IFP vary based on size and location within the GI tract. This case describes a patient who presented with hematochezia and abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed ileoileal intussusception without a clear lead point. The patient underwent resection of the in...
