Páncreas heterotópico y malacoplaquia en un tumor intrahepático abscesado: reporte de un caso

The presence of heterotopic pancreatic tissue or malacoplakia in the liver is very uncommon and rarely becomes symptomatic.

Here we report of a 57-year-old female patient who received left-sided hemihepatectomy due to a tumor resembling intrahepatic abscess. Histopathological examination revealed both heterotopic pancreas and malakoplakia.

We discuss this case in relation to the existing literature. As far as we know, this is the first reported case of simultaneous presence of these two rare entities.
