Summary
An exceptional case of aberrant pancreas was found in both the jejunum and Meckel
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Aberrant pancreas, a rare congenital anomaly, can present with varied clinical manifestations.
- Dual intestinal locations of aberrant pancreas are exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic challenges.
Observation:
- A 30-year-old patient presented with digestive hemorrhage and abdominal colic.
- Clinical signs suggested an unusual gastrointestinal pathology requiring advanced imaging.
Findings:
- Enteroscopy, guided by enteroscanner, successfully identified aberrant pancreas in both the jejunum and Meckel's diverticulum.
- This case highlights a rare double intestinal localization of pancreatic tissue.
Implications:
- Preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective surgical planning in complex cases.
- Systematic intraoperative exploration for additional aberrant pancreatic tissue locations is recommended to prevent recurrence or complications.
