“…The majority of cases are discovered by chance during endoscopy, but since other lesions might seem similar to EP by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, EUS with fine-needle aspiration might be a safe technique to diagnose EP and can distinguish it from the other lesions. 9 In the present case, the EP was not visualized on the abdominal MSCT, which was performed externally. This was likely due to the small size of the EP and the average quality of the MSCT device.…”

Ectopic pancreas refers to pancreatic tissue that lacks vascular or anatomical connection with the main body of the pancreas. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome involves the compression of the third part of the duodenum between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. We present a case of a 12-year-old female with a 4-year history of recurrent episodes of severe epigastric pain, improved by sitting and leaning forward, and occurred monthly for nearly 48 h. Radiological findings confirmed the diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome. However, further investigation revealed the presence of ectopic pancreas. Surgical intervention successfully treated both conditions. The patient presented with severe abdominal pain, and although there was a diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome, the pain was not entirely attributable to this condition, as there was no correlation with food intake, and the degree of obstruction was mild. Further investigations revealed the presence of ectopic pancreas, which provided an explanation for the severity of the pain. This case highlights the need for further research on the potential association between superior mesenteric artery syndrome and ectopic pancreas.

“…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.
