“…Laparotomy and wedge resection of the lesion was performed successfully. Chang et al [36] also reported an adult patient with gastric HP on the posterior wall of the antrum, in which robotic partial gastrectomy was performed. In that case, endoscopic tattooing was performed for tumor localization before robotic surgery.…”

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is defined as pancreatic tissue lacking vascular or anatomic connection with the normal pancreas. Surgical resection is often indicated for symptomatic gastric HP. However, intraoperative identification of gastric HP is often difficult during laparoscopic surgery. Herein, we describe a patient with gastric HP, which was marked with SPOT® dye (GI Supply, Camp Hill, PA, USA). The dye was seen clearly laparoscopically facilitating total excision of the lesion. The final pathology report confirmed the presence of heterotopic pancreatic tissue including pancreatic acini, small pancreatic ducts tissue with islets of Langerhans in the deep gastric submucosal area. There were no postoperative complications, and the patient was symptom-free. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first case report in the literature in which endoscopic tattooing of gastric HP before laparoscopic resection was performed. This method of localization was simple and reliable in children.

This editorial discusses the article written by Zheng et al that was published in the latest edition of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery . Our primary focus is on the causes, location, diagnosis, histological classification, and therapy of ectopic pancreas. Ectopic pancreas refers to the presence of pancreatic tissue that is situated in a location outside its usual anatomical placement, and is not connected to the normal pancreas in terms of blood supply or anatomical structure. Currently, the embryological origin of ectopic pancreas remains uncertain. The most prevalent form of ectopic pancreatic is gastric ectopic pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasonography examination can visualize the morphological characteristics of the ectopic pancreatic lesion and pinpoint its anatomical location. The histological categorization of ectopic pancreas evolves. Endoscopic treatment has been widely advocated in ectopic pancreas.
