“…The management of asymptomatic, incidentally detected HP remains a debate although some evidence suggested in resection of these asymptomatic cases to prevent future complications [ 4 , 5 , 11 , 12 ]. The synchronous occurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) and heterotopic pancreas has been reported once [ 17 ]. To our knowledge this is the first case report of a heterotopic pancreatic tissue mimicking a GIST in a patient with diabetes mellitus.…”

BackgroundHeterotopic pancreas is a rare congenital condition characterised by pancreatic tissue lacking vascular or anatomic communication with the normal pancreas. Most cases of ectopic pancreas are asymptomatic. The preoperative diagnosis of this condition is difficult.Case presentationA 50-year-old woman presented with dyspeptic symptoms of 4 years duration. Contrast enhanced CT (computed tomography) scan of abdomen suggested a gastrointestinal stromal tumour in the fundus of the stomach. The patient underwent laparoscopy assisted resection and subsequent histology revealed ectopic pancreatic tissue.ConclusionAlthough heterotopic pancreas is a rare lesion diagnosed on histology, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gastric mass lesions and in patients presenting with vague upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

“…Heterotopic pancreas is composed of pancreatic acini, ducts, or islets. Ectopic pancreatic tissue can undergo secondary changes such as acute pancreatitis [ 2 , 3 ], pseudocyst formation [ 4 ], development of mucinous cysts [ 5 ], and pancreatic carcinoma [ 6 – 8 ]. Neoplasms arising from ectopic pancreas are extremely rare.…”

There are few English reports on secondary tumors from heterotopic pancreas. Here, we describe a case of gastric neuroendocrine tumor (NET) arising from heterotopic pancreas. A 72-year-old woman underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy as part of a general health check-up. An endoscopic examination revealed a submucosal tumor on the greater curvature of the gastric body. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery was performed. Histological diagnosis concluded that it was a Grade 1 NET arising from heterotopic pancreas. We report this extremely rare case of a NET presenting as a submucosal tumor, considered to have originated from heterotopic pancreatic tissue.

Mucinous cyst exhibiting severe dysplasia in gastric heterotopic pancreas associated withe gastrointestinal stromal tumour

Abstract: Heterotopic pancreatic tissue within the stomach is rare and dysplasia within heterotopic pancreatic tissue is very rare. We present the first report of a patient with concurrent occurrence of heterotopic pancreas in the stomach with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour.
