Accessory or Aberrant Pancreas, With Report a Case

Abstract

While an accessory pancreas if not very rare, still it is unusual enough to warrant the report of another case. This case, like Opie's, is an accessory pancreas entirely separated from the normal pancreas and adherent to the intestine, with numerous branches of the duct of Wirsung through the section, and it is, of course, natural to conclude that (he main duct must have eventually opened into the intestine.
