“…However, even if surgery is not performed, a thorough examination should be performed, and the possibility of ectopic pancreatic cancer should be ruled out. 5 In this case, the acute pancreatitis of the EP may have resulted from obstruction of the pancreatic duct in the EP for some reason, but the exact cause is unknown. Alcohol ingestion may have been involved.…”

“…The pancreatitis of gastric EP is a benign disease, and surgery is not essential in the absence of severe clinical symptoms, as in the present case. However, even if surgery is not performed, a thorough examination should be performed, and the possibility of ectopic pancreatic cancer should be ruled out 5 . In this case, the acute pancreatitis of the EP may have resulted from obstruction of the pancreatic duct in the EP for some reason, but the exact cause is unknown.…”

A 40‐year‐old Japanese male presented with epigastric pain and loss of appetite at a general hospital three years ago. Computed tomography revealed massive thickening of the gastric wall, and gastroscopy revealed diffuse erythema and edematous thickening of the gastric mucosa. Thereafter, epigastric pain and gastric wall thickening recurred frequently, causing an inability to intake food. Conservative treatment was marginally effective; therefore, a distal gastrectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the patient resumed food intake without complications. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed Heinrich type 1 gastric ectopic pancreas (EP) with pancreatitis. In this case, the gastric wall's massive thickening was caused by gastric EP's pancreatitis. Although there are some reports of pancreatitis of gastric EP, there are no detailed reports of endoscopic findings, including endoscopic ultrasonography and the disease progression. Recurrent pancreatitis of EP leads to forming a septum within the gastric wall, resulting in a hematoma. Eventually, irreversible narrowing of the gastric lumen may occur, as observed in the present case. We consider this an important case report presenting detailed pathogenesis supported by endoscopic and pathohistological findings of surgical specimens. Our study will help in the early diagnosis and better management of the condition.

“…However, the two patients in this report were women. Depending on the site of the lesion, some patients may present with nonspecific symptoms and complications such as abdominal pain, nausea, dysphagia, dyspepsia, bleeding and pancreatitis, gastric outlet obstruction or even malignant transformation[ 11 , 12 ]. Neither of the two patients in this report developed these complications.…”

Time series analysis is a valuable tool in epidemiology that complements the classical epidemiological models in two different ways: Prediction and forecast. Prediction is related to explaining past and current data based on various internal and external influences that may or may not have a causative role. Forecasting is an exploration of the possible future values based on the predictive ability of the model and hypothesized future values of the external and/or internal influences. The time series analysis approach has the advantage of being easier to use (in the cases of more straightforward and linear models such as Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average). Still, it is limited in forecasting time, unlike the classical models such as Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed. Its applicability in forecasting comes from its better accuracy for short-term prediction. In its basic form, it does not assume much theoretical knowledge of the mechanisms of spreading and mutating pathogens or the reaction of people and regulatory structures (governments, companies, etc. ). Instead, it estimates from the data directly. Its predictive ability allows testing hypotheses for different factors that positively or negatively contribute to the pandemic spread; be it school closures, emerging variants, etc. It can be used in mortality or hospital risk estimation from new cases, seroprevalence studies, assessing properties of emerging variants, and estimating excess mortality and its relationship with a pandemic.

“…Most HP, regardless of the location are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally. However, some can manifest with clinical symptoms and complications such as pancreatitis, gastric outlet obstruction, and even malignant transformation [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 ]. In a large single-center series that included 29 patients with upper gastrointestinal HP, only six (20.9%) had clinical symptoms [ 4 ].…”

Gastric Hematoma Secondary to Heterotopic Pancreas of the Stomach: Unexpected Cause of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding remains a common cause of hospitalizations and common causes include peptic ulcer disease, esophageal and gastric varices, and malignancies. Infrequently, rare and unexpected causes are encountered. Initial management is generally the same regardless of the cause that is focused on hemodynamic stabilization followed by endoscopy to assess and treat the cause of bleeding. We report a case of a 19-year-old female who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopy showed a submucosal hematoma secondary to gastric ectopic pancreas or heterotopic pancreas. She was also treated for Helicobacter pylori infection. She was managed medically and was discharged without further recurrence of bleeding.
