Heterotopic Pancreas: A Rare Cause of Ileo-Ileal Intussusception
BACKGROUND: Heterotopic pancreas is a rare developmental anomaly defined as pancreatic tissue found on ectopic sites without contiguity with the main pancreas. An isolated heterotopic pancreas as a cause of bowel intussusception is extremely rare. CASE REPORT: A case of 47-year old male with multipl...

description | BACKGROUND: Heterotopic pancreas is a rare developmental anomaly defined as pancreatic tissue found on ectopic sites without contiguity with the main pancreas. An isolated heterotopic pancreas as a cause of bowel intussusception is extremely rare. CASE REPORT: A case of 47-year old male with multiple episodes of melena, constipation and abdominal pain for one year duration is presented. CT eneterography revealed a large circumferential lesion involving the terminal ileum that acted as a leading point to an ileo-ileal intussusception. The resection of the lesion and related bowel segment was carried out. The histopathological examination confirmed the excised lesion as a heterotopic pancreatic tissue. CONCLUSIONS: Though a rare entity, heterotopic pancreas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bowel intussusception. |
