    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Isolated heterotopic pancreas (HP) as the primary cause of bowel intussusception is extremely rare. We report a case of a 33-year-old female patient with spina bifida admitted to the Emergency Surgical Department for ileal intussusception due to the presence of heterotopic pancreas associated with endometriosis. AREAS COVERED: Symptomatic ileal intussusception for ectopic pancreas is usually associated with overt gastrointestinal blood loss (predominantly melena), abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. Treatment is universally surgical. EXPERT COMMENTARY: Isolated heterotopic pancreas is a rare condition; it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bowel intussusception.
