  • Title: Intussusception caused by heterotopic pancreatic tissue in a child.
    Author: Mills RW, McCrudden K, Gupta VK, Britton A, Al Qahtani M, Hasan RA.
    Journal: Fetal Pediatr Pathol; 2011; 30(2):106-10. PubMed ID: 21391750.
    Abstract:
    Intussusception is the leading cause of intestinal obstruction in children and is almost invariably idiopathic. Occasionally, there is a lead point for the intussusception. Intussusception caused by heterotopic pancreas (HPT) as the lead point is exceedingly rare. We report a case of intussusception caused by HPT in a child. Clinical and pathologic features and the successful medical and surgical management of the case are discussed.
