  • Title: Pseudocyst formation in gastric ectopic pancreas.
    Author: Mulholland KC, Wallace WD, Epanomeritakis E, Hall SR.
    Journal: JOP; 2004 Nov 10; 5(6):498-501. PubMed ID: 15536290.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: It is rare for ectopic pancreatic tissue to cause symptoms or require treatment, however diseases of normal pancreas may also occur in ectopic pancreas tissue. CASE REPORT: This report describes the clinical, endoscopic, radiologic and histologic features of a pseudocyst occurring in gastric ectopic pancreas in a 19-year-old man. The difficulty and implications of making an accurate pre-operative diagnosis are highlighted. CONCLUSION: Ectopic pancreatic tissue, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a submucosal gastric mass.
