  • Title: Adult intussusception caused by heterotopic pancreas.
    Author: Kok VK, Wang TK, Lin NH, Bei JJ, Huang PH, Chen YC.
    Journal: J Formos Med Assoc; 2007 May; 106(5):418-21. PubMed ID: 17561479.
    Abstract:
    Heterotopic pancreas causing small bowel intussusception is rare. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with intermittent episodes of abdominal cramping and pain that had persisted for 10 days. A target-shaped lesion consisting of multiple concentric rings was found on the left side on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Surgical intervention demonstrated jejunal intussusception caused by a jejunal heterotopic pancreas. Microscopically, several nesidioblastoses of pancreas were identified. Although very rare, small intestinal pancreatic rests may cause subacute bowel obstruction.
