ABSTRACT

Ectopic pancreas is a rare entity. Usually found in 50-60 year old males, its most frequent location is the stomach; frequently asymptomatic, depending on the size of the tumor it could manifest with epigastric pain or occlusion. Obtaining a definitive diagnosis is difficult preoperatively. Diagnostic methods include endoscopic biopsy, tomography and endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle biopsy, although their role is limited. So far there is no consensus for the treatment of choice in ectopic pancreas, which ranges from endoscopic resection to diverse gastrectomy techniques.
