“…Heterotopic Pancreas, is a developmental aberration described as pancreatic tissue present in ectopic sites that is not connected to the main Pancreas [1] . It is found in in 0.6-13% of autopsies [2] and as an incidental finding in about 1 of every 500 of upper abdominal operations [1] . A heterotopic pancreas is usually is rare entity in Ileum, if present it is seen in Meckel's Diverticulum.…”

A heterotopic pancreas as the lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception is extremely rare. A 26year old male patient previously healthy male, presented to the emergency room with the complaint of pain in the lower abdomen since 2 weeks, colicky type, progressive in nature, associated with melena for 5 days and nonbilious vomiting for 3 days. A preoperative diagnosis of ileo-ileal intussusception was made on ultrasound and cect abdomen and an emergency exploratory laparotomy was done. At laparotomy an ileo-ileal intussusception was found and a polyp noted in distal ileum as a lead point. On histopathology this polyp was found to be heterotopic pancreas.

BackgroundThe ectopic pancreas is a kind of congenital malformation formed during embryonic development, which has no anatomical relationship with the normal pancreas and is a rare solid disease. The ectopic pancreas in the adrenal glands is extremely rare.Case summaryA 32-year-old man was admitted to the hospital after experiencing elevated blood pressure for 2 years as well as dizziness and blurred vision for 2 weeks. He had an elevated blood pressure of 170/110 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) on physical examination 2 years ago, without palpitations, chest pain, and chest tightness. Two weeks ago, he presented with dizziness and blurred vision. Blood renin and aldosterone levels were elevated. Plain CT and contrast-enhanced CT scan showed nodular thickening of the left adrenal and homogeneous enhancement, which was initially considered adrenal adenoma. The postoperative pathology supported the ectopic pancreas in the left adrenal. After 78 months of postoperative follow-up, no recurrence was observed, but his blood pressure remained persistently high.ConclusionThe ectopic pancreas occurring in the adrenal glands is extremely rare, has no specific clinical symptoms, and is mainly found for other reasons. It can easily be misdiagnosed as an adrenal adenoma. The final confirmation of the diagnosis still depends on the pathological biopsy. A great deal of reporting is still required for whether there is a correlation with elevated blood pressure.
