“…27 Long-term follow-up results show that capsule endoscopy, when followed by therapeutic intervention (intraoperative endoscopy or surgery), is a precise and efficient non-invasive diagnostic procedure in patients with severe chronic GI bleeding. 28 It can, therefore, be recommended as part of the routine work-up in patients with obscure GI bleeding. Recently, Chen et al 29 reported a case of HP located in the ileum of a 35-year-old man presenting as obscure GI bleeding that was diagnosed by capsule endoscopy.…”

We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with heterotopic pancreas (HP) located in a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) and presenting as obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy did not reveal the source of the bleeding, however, capsule endoscopy revealed a space-occupying lesion in the ileum. The patient developed massive bleeding and an emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed. A congested MD was discovered 100 cm from the ileocaecal valve using intra-operative endoscopy; the ulcerated tip of the diverticulum appeared to be the source of the bleeding. The MD and adjacent ileal segment were resected and an end-to-end anastomosis performed. Subsequent pathological examination revealed an ileal MD with HP tissue within the submucosa. The patient remains well, 12 months after the operation, with no evidence of recurrent bleeding. This case suggests that HP should be considered as one possible cause of obscure GI bleeding in children and capsule endoscopy is a valuable adjuvant tool in the diagnosis of HP in children.
