    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Pathology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Ectopic pancreatic tissue, while rare, can occur outside the pancreas.
    • Mediastinal masses require careful differential diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the second documented case of mediastinal ectopic pancreatic tissue presenting as a mass.
    • To review existing literature on thoracic ectopic pancreatic tissue to understand its etiology.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report.
    • Literature review of previously documented cases of ectopic pancreatic tissue in the thorax.

    Main Results:

    • The second documented case of mediastinal ectopic pancreatic tissue presenting as a mediastinal mass is described.
    • A review of prior cases was conducted.

    Conclusions:

    • Mediastinal ectopic pancreatic tissue is an extremely rare condition.
    • Further investigation into the developmental pathways of ectopic pancreatic tissue is warranted.
