  • Title: Duodenal diverticulum: case report of a perforated extraluminal diverticulum containing ectopic pancreatic tissue.
    Author: Volchok J, Massimi T, Wilkins S, Curletti E.
    Journal: Arch Surg; 2009 Feb; 144(2):188-90. PubMed ID: 19221332.
    Abstract:
    Ectopic pancreatic tissue within a duodenal diverticulum has not been previously described in the English-language literature, to our knowledge. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with a perforated duodenal diverticulum after upper endoscopy. Operative resection and repair of the perforated diverticulum was performed, and, on microscopic examination, ectopic pancreatic tissue was found within the diverticulum.
