“…This is likely because it is in specific cases present in visually clear organs that helped to quickly detect it, such as the umbilicus 35 and the middle ear (by noting the tympanic membrane). 32 In other cases, the EP was also associated with another clinically glaring disease in the same place, which made its discovery earlier as the 6 months child who developed multiple episodes of jaundice, non-bilious vomiting, and it turns out later that he has choledochal cysts containing EP. 34 …”

Ectopic pancreas refers to pancreatic tissue that lacks vascular or anatomical connection with the main body of the pancreas. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome involves the compression of the third part of the duodenum between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. We present a case of a 12-year-old female with a 4-year history of recurrent episodes of severe epigastric pain, improved by sitting and leaning forward, and occurred monthly for nearly 48 h. Radiological findings confirmed the diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome. However, further investigation revealed the presence of ectopic pancreas. Surgical intervention successfully treated both conditions. The patient presented with severe abdominal pain, and although there was a diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome, the pain was not entirely attributable to this condition, as there was no correlation with food intake, and the degree of obstruction was mild. Further investigations revealed the presence of ectopic pancreas, which provided an explanation for the severity of the pain. This case highlights the need for further research on the potential association between superior mesenteric artery syndrome and ectopic pancreas.

Endoscopic Ultrasound Appearance of Jejunal Ectopic Pancreas Mimicking Metastatic Nodule in a Cancer Patient

et al. 2023

The ectopic pancreas is a benign subepithelial tumor (SET) mostly found incidentally in the stomach and duodenum. Here, we present computed tomography (CT) scans and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) images from a 71-year-old Taiwanese man newly diagnosed with colonic adenocarcinoma. CT examination revealed a mural nodule in the proximal jejunum, with good enhancement after IV contrast medium administration. Push enteroscopy was performed to localize the lesion and evaluate its nature, and a 1 cm subepithelial lesion was found. The lesion appeared hyperechoic within the submucosal layer of the bowel wall on endoscopic ultrasound examination. A tattoo was performed, and the lesion was removed during the resection of colon cancer. The histopathology confirmed the presence of pancreatic tissue inside. As far as we know, this is the first description in the literature of an endoscopic ultrasound finding of a jejunal ectopic pancreas.
