“…9 Anomalous fusion of each bud is thought to result in heterotopia, usually in the organs near the pancreas. So far, there are only a few reports of intrahepatic heterotopic pancreas in the literature, including a case of islet cell carcinoma probably arising from intrahepatic heterotopic pancreas, 2 a case presenting as a hepatic mass, 4 cases found in autopsy liver specimens 5 and a case with cirrhosis. 6 To our knowledge, the present case is the first heterotopic pancreas along the wall of hepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cysts.…”

“…Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is often found in the submucosa of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum, but is infrequent in other sites, including the biliary system and liver. 1–6 Heterotopic pancreatic tissue consists of islets, acini and ducts, or combinations of either of them. We present a case with heterotopic pancreas of the intra‐ and extrahepatic biliary tracts associated with choledochal cysts.…”

A case report of heterotopic pancreas in intra- and extrahepatic biliary tracts in a 36-year-old female who suffered from intra- and extrahepatic choledochal cysts with an anomalous pancreatobiliary duct system. Histologic examination of the resected specimen showed pancreatic tissues located along the wall of the biliary tract with choledochal cysts. The pancreatic tissue consisted of acinar cells and duct elements without Langerhans' islets; the acinar cells were positive immunohistochemically for alpha-amylase and negative for endocrine hormones. Ultrastructural study revealed zymogen granules in the acinar cells. In the present case the heterotopic exocrine pancreatic tissue seems to be etiologically related to choledochal cysts as well as to the anomalous arrangement of the pancreatobiliary duct.

CASE REPORT:The patient was a 15 year old Negro girl who presented with a slowly enlarging, mobile, firm, left upper quadrant mass, first noticed eighteen month's previously. There were no other relevant clinical or laboratory findings; in particular, no metabolic or hormonal abnormalities were found.The urogram showed under-filling of the superior pole of the left kidney which was not displaced. Renal angiography was normal. The splenic flexure and transverse colon were displaced inferiorly and' the stomach was displaced upwards and to the right (Figure 1). Radioisotope scan revealed a normal spleen. Ultrasound showed a fluid-filled structure with multiple septations. The relevant angiography is shown in figures 2, 3 and 4. The tumour was vascular in its upper quarter and the remainder was relatively avascular. It displaced the coeliac axis and its branches upwards and to the right and caused stretching of the inferior branch of the splenic artery. The superior splenic artery branch was tortuous. A branch of the dorsal pancreatic artery thought to be in mesocolon was stretched around its inferior pole, and gave rise to several vessels which were stretched over the medial and lower poles of the tumour. This is an unexpected finding in the absence of tumour involvement in head or body of pancreas. These vessels were the main blood supply to the avascular lower part of the tumour. The main blood supply t o the vascular upper pole was via tumour vessels arising from branches of the splenic artery, particularly near the splenic hilus. No abnormality was shown in the'venous phase. The head and body of the pancreas were not
