    Abstract:
    Ectopic pancreas often occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the identification of a mediastinal ectopic pancreas is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of ectopic pancreas of the anterior mediastinum, which was incidentally detected during treatment for pericarditis with widespread ST elevation on electrocardiogram. A 40-year-old woman complaining of chest pain was admitted with suspected pericarditis. A closer examination revealed a cystic mass in the anterior mediastinum, which was diagnosed as a pancreatic cyst of the anterior mediastinum on thoracoscopic tumor resection.
