Heterotopic pancreas (HP) in the duodenum can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Laparoscopic wedge resection is a safe and effective treatment for this rare condition, enabling definitive diagnosis and symptom resolution.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
- Congenital Anomalies
Background:
- Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is pancreatic tissue outside the main pancreas, often asymptomatic but can cause symptoms like gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
- Diagnosing duodenal HP is challenging due to its submucosal location and non-specific imaging, often requiring surgical intervention.
