  • Title: Massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding from Meckel's diverticulum with heterotopic pancreas: case report and a brief review of the literature.
    Author: Yang X, Guo K.
    Journal: JOP; 2013 May 10; 14(3):269-72. PubMed ID: 23669477.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: Heterotopic pancreas is defined as pancreatic tissue found out of the pancreas proper with no vascular or anatomical connection. It is a rare clinical entity and can be found at any portion of the alimentary system. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of Meckel's diverticulum with heterotopic pancreas who presented massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding. CONCLUSION: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to Meckel's diverticulum with heterotopic pancreas is extremely difficult to make a definitive diagnosis preoperatively especially when it onsets rapidly.
