  • Title: [Lanreotide acetate may cure cystic dystrophy in heterotopic pancreas of the duodenal wall].
    Author: Basili E, Allemand I, Ville E, Laugier R.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 2001 Dec; 25(12):1108-11. PubMed ID: 11910994.
    Abstract:
    Cystic dystrophy in heterotopic pancreas of the duodenal wall is a rare but benign disease, associated in most of the cases with chronic pancreatitis. Treatment of this disease is controversial. We report here the use of a long-acting somatostatin synthetic stable analogue in the treatment of a cystic dystrophy in heterotopic pancreas of the duodenal wall: a 45-year-old man, hard drinker, was treated successfully during three months with lanreotide acetate; disappearance of cysts was confirmed by a computed tomography two months after the end of treatment.
