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...

Heterotopic ossification is defined as the development of mature bone tissue outside normal bone. Osteomyelitis an infection-related inflammatory disorder bones. Although pressure sores accompanied by heterotopic have been reported, there no reports osteomyelitis occurring in proximity to ossification. Herein, we report a rare case after trochanteric sore reconstruction. We also emphasize impor...

Heterotopic neuroglial tissue, composed of differentiated neuroectodermal tissue, represents developmental heterotopia of neuroglial tissue rather than true neoplasm. Herein, we present a patient with nasopharyngeal heterotopic neuroglial tissue who presented with respiratory distress and feeding difficulty in early days after birth. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion measuring a...

Heterotopic pancreatic tissue of the stomach is a rare condition. The author herein reports three cases of heterotopic pancreatic of the stomach. The three cases were found in the 8,154 gastric specimens (biopsy 6,122 cases, gastrectomy 2,032 cases) of our pathology laboratory; the frequency was 0.04%. The first case was a 57-year-old woman who presented with epigastralgia. Endoscopic examinati...

Heterotopic pancreas is normal pancreatic tissue that lacks anatomic and vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is a rare congenital anomaly found usually in the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum and is rarely seen in the esophagus. This is a case of heterotopic pancreas found in the esophagus that was removed thorascopically.

CONTEXT Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is defined as pancreatic tissue outside the boundaries of the pancreas that has neither anatomic nor vascular continuity with the pancreas. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder is uncommon and has rarely been reported to cause symptoms. We report a case of heterotopic pancreatic tissue obstructing the gallbladder neck resulting in cholecystitis....

INTRODUCTION Heterotopic pancreas is defined as pancreatic tissue without a real anatomical or vascular connection to the pancreas. It can be found in the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, Meckel's diverticulum, colon gall bladder, umbilicus, fallopian tube, mediastinum, spleen and liver. Complications of heterotopic pancreas are inflammation, bleeding, obstruction, malignant transformation, c...

Heterotopic ossification is defined as the formation of mature, lamellar bone within soft tissues other than the periosteum. We present a case of a 9-year-old girl with formation of heterotopic bone tissue in the elbow after surgical treatment of a fracture of the lateral humeral condyle. Eight months after the first operation the girl was re-operated to resect the heterotopic bone tissue. We b...

BACKGROUND Heterotopic pancreas most commonly occurs in the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults, usually as an incidental finding. It seldom occurs at the umbilicus, and even rarely in the pediatric age group. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present a case of heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the omphalomesenteric duct remnant of a 9-month-old baby girl. She presented with redness at the base of ...
