“…1 Esophageal heterotopic pancreas, however, is extremely rare with only 13 cases having been reported. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The age at diagnosis varies from birth to 60 years with increased incidence in the males. The most common site of esophageal heterotopic pancreas is the distal third of the esophagus with middle third accounting for 3 of these cases.…”

“…1 Heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus is rare and to our knowledge has been reported in only 13 patients in the literature. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] We report the only case of esophageal heterotopic pancreas with a retention cyst in a patient presenting with recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis.…”

“…There is a nodule, usually single, varying from one to six centimetres in diameter, mainly located in the submuscularis. It may give rise to symptoms suggestive of peptic ulcer or cholecystitis, and a number of cases have been reported in which such foci appear to have given rise to acute gastrointestinal bleeding, and these have been reviewed by Hudock et al (1956) and by Razi (1966).…”

This lecture is a commentary on diagnosis and management of acute alimentary bleeding, with special reference to the problems of the less common causes. It is based on the experience of treating over 4,000 cases admitted to the two gastroenterological wards at the Central Middlesex Hospital.Acute and chronic peptic ulcer accounted for about 80% of the admissions. The remainder included: hiatus hernia (2-3 %), portal hypertension (2-7%), carcinoma of the stomach (2 5 %), Mallory-Weiss syndrome (3 %), and about 40 different uncommon causes (5 2%), with a residue of acute bleeds of uncertain origin.

“…2 It is usually asymptomatic and the common gastrointestinal sites of occurrence include the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, Meckel's diverticulum, 1 3 gallbladder, 4 and oesophagus. 5 If symptomatic, abdominal pain, melaena, anaemia, obstruction, and cystic change have all been documented. 6 Indeed, even carcinomas arising within heterotopic pancreatic tissue have been described.…”

Gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma arising from heterotopic pancreatic tissue

An 85 year old man presented with symptoms of dyspepsia and increase in stool frequency of two months duration. Upper endoscopy revealed an ulcer and the biopsy was interpreted as carcinoma with endocrine features. A formal distal gastrectomy was planned, but intraoperatively, because of the patient’s condition, a wedge resection was performed. Histology revealed a neuroendocrine tumour (grade 1), located mainly in the submucosa, which had caused mucosal attenuation and ulceration. Associated with the tumour and at its periphery was heterotopic pancreatic tissue composed of acini, ducts, and endocrine cells. The tumour was strongly positive for chromogranin and focally for synaptophysin. There was no associated chronic atrophic gastritis or G cell hyperplasia. A discrete focus of high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma (grade 3) within the typical (grade 1) neuroendocrine tumour was also present. This case illustrates a grade 1 neuroendocrine carcinoma, with a small grade 3 focus, arising within or intimately associated with heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the stomach. Although the two entities may be separate, their close topographical association favours the possibility of neuroendocrine carcinoma arising from the heterotopic pancreas. Pathologists should be aware of the occurrence of pancreatic heterotopia in the stomach and the association of carcinoma with it.
