description Heterotopic pancreas is an aberration in the developmental profile of the pancreas. This entity is rarely symptomatic and its malignant transformation is even rarer. However, when present, it poses a diagnostic dilemma to clinicians, as little help comes from gastroenteroscopy and imaging.

This case report reveals the elusive nature of malignancy in heterotopic pancreas in the duodenum.
