Aberrant pancreas in the duodenum presents diagnostic challenges, often mimicking peptic ulcers. This case highlights the difficulties in diagnosing ectopic pancreatic tissue and emphasizes its typical anatomo-pathological features.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Pathology
Surgical Anatomy

Background:

Aberrant pancreatic tissue in the duodenum is a rare congenital anomaly.
Diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms and limitations of standard imaging techniques.

Observation:

A case of aberrant pancreas located in the duodenal wall is presented.
The lesion mimicked a peptic ulcer on initial endoscopic and radiological examinations.

Findings:

Anatomopathological examination revealed characteristic features of ectopic pancreatic tissue.
Histological analysis confirmed the presence of pancreatic acini and ducts within the duodenal submucosa.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering ectopic pancreas in the differential diagnosis of duodenal lesions.

Accurate diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and thorough histopathological evaluation.

Understanding the typical features aids in differentiating aberrant pancreas from other duodenal pathologies.
