Acute peritonitis caused by the acute pancreatitis of an ectopic pancreas in a jejunal duplication, in an adult with intestinal malrotation: a case report

BACKGROUND: Intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas are two rare independent congenital anomalies. Few reports describe cases of patients with ectopic pancreas in an intestinal duplication causing acute peritonitis.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas are two rare independent congenital anomalies. Few reports describe cases of patients with ectopic pancreas in an intestinal duplication causing acute peritonitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 31-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for epigastric pain. The patient was diagnosed with acute peritonitis caused by the acute pancreatitis of an ectopic pancreas in a jejunal duplication, with intestinal malrotation. The patient underwent the partial resection of the jejunum and Ladd’s procedure. The histopathological findings indicated ectopic pancreatitis in the jejunal duplication. CONCLUSIONS: We presented the case of acute peritonitis caused by the acute pancreatitis of an ectopic pancreas in a jejunal duplication in an adult with intestinal malrotation. Surgery is the primary treatment and is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
