“…The reported incidence of submucosal tumors on esophagogastroduodenoscopy is approximately 0.4% [ 1 , 2 ]. Submucosal tumors in the upper gastrointestinal tract include a wide range of histologic entities, for example, leiomyoma, lipoma, ectopic pancreas, lymphoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), neuroendocrine tumor, neurofibroma, and schwannoma [ 3 ]. The histologic diagnosis of these tumors is sometimes difficult, even by stacked (bite-on-bite) biopsies.…”

A 32-year-old Japanese man presented with a gastric submucosal tumor. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a sessile submucosal tumor measuring approximately 10 mm in diameter on the greater curvature of the gastric antrum. Endoscopic ultrasonography examination revealed a solid tumor with a diameter of 11.8 mm, which was located in the deep mucosal and submucosal layers. The internal echogenicity was homogenous and hypoechoic. Biopsy examinations were performed twice but were not diagnostic since only the intact mucosal layer was obtained. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with ectopic pancreas in the stomach by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This case underscores the usefulness of the ESD technique for the pathological diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumors.

Introduction. Ectopic pancreas (EP) in children is a rare malformation. In the pediatric practice, it is rarely manifested with a pain syndrome. Although most ectopia cases are asymptomatic, some children have signs of the disease at an early age what may require a surgical intervention.Material. The researchers have analyzed domestic and foreign literature on the pancreatic ectopia in the gastro-duodenal zone which was published over the past 20 years and up to the present. The literature search with key words was done at such search engines as: Library, eLibrary, PubMed, Medline. The researchers analyzed the most important works published in the last century.Results. A review of 32 literature sources with data on epidemiology, classification, origin, diagnostics and treatment of ectopic pancreas in the gastro-duodenal zone is presented in the article. This paper specifically draws attention to a minimally invasive surgery for the radical correction of this congenital malformation.Conclusion. Surgical intervention is required for patients with a marked pain symptom after ineffective conservative treatment. The aim of surgery is to perform layered resection of the stomach wall in which the ectopic pancreatic tissue is located.
