Heterotopic pancreas, an uncommon condition, was surgically found in three young men in the biliary tract, stomach, and duodenum. Resection with histological examination is recommended for all surgically discovered cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Heterotopic pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly where pancreatic tissue is found outside its normal location.
  • Surgical discovery of heterotopic pancreas is infrequent, particularly in young adults.

Observation:

  • Three cases of surgically discovered heterotopic pancreas in young men are presented.
  • Locations included the biliary tract (causing choledochal stenosis), stomach (incidental finding during trauma surgery), and duodenum (found during liver adenoma resection).

Findings:

  • Surgical management varied: Whipple's operation, tumor resection, and antroduodenectomy.
  • Histological examination confirmed no malignant transformation in any of the cases.
  • Excellent patient outcomes were observed with 2-4 years of follow-up.

Implications:

  • Surgical resection with thorough histological examination is advised for all incidentally discovered heterotopic pancreas cases.
  • This approach ensures accurate diagnosis and rules out malignancy.
  • Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in surgical settings.
