Abstract:
Aberrant pancreas of the duodenal wall (APD) and duodenal diaphragm (DD) are two rare entities, which developed during duodenal embryogenesis.

A surgical resection of both lesions was performed and the outcome was uneventful. Embryogenesis, morphological characteristics and treatment are discussed.
