  • Title: [Heterotopic gastric pancreas: a rare cause of abdominal complaints].
    Author: Boehm SA, Moenig SP, Thul R, Wolfgarten E, Wolters U, Hoelscher AH.
    Journal: Chirurg; 2003 Jun; 74(6):583-6. PubMed ID: 12883810.
    Abstract:
    Heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal complaints such as epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Despite the development of modern diagnostic procedures, it is still difficult to differentiate heterotopic pancreatic tissue from other benign or malignant gastric tumors. Local excision of the gastric wall is regarded as the diagnostic and therapeutic procedure of choice. We present two cases and an overview of the literature.
