“…Differential diagnosis based on the presence of gallstones, cholesterol polyps, adenomyoma, carcinoma, cholecystitis, cysts, abscess formation and other lesions is almost impossible [9]. Radical excision is the treatment of choice in pancreatic heterotopia and is aimed at avoiding potential complications [4,13]. Active pancreatic enzymes secreted into the gallbladder and biliary tract may lead to chronic inflammation, hyperplasia and dysplasia of the gallbladder mucosa and even to carcinoma of gallbladder [11,14].…”

Ectopic pancreas in the gallbladder is found very rarely in histological examination after cholecystectomy. The etiology of this entity is not yet clear, but there exist several hypotheses about its origin. Our histological study revealed both exocrine and endocrine components of pancreatic tissue as shown by H&E and immunohistochemical staining of a gallbladder sections of a 55-year old man. Ectopic pancreatic tissue may be an underestimated cause of acute idiopathic pancreatitis thus detailed postoperative histological examination may decrease the number of acute pancreatitis cases without the known cause.

A 9-year-old boy presented with duodenal pancreatic rest causing obstruction and required surgical intervention. He had been treated at the age of 4 months for a choledochal cyst. Both choledochal cyst and heterotopic pancreas are entities that are commonly encountered in children, but the incidental presence of both the entities in the same child, albeit presenting metachronously, is extremely rare.

“…21 It can be differentiated from autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease which showed isolated intrahepatic cysts with no tubular connections between them. 22,23 Several reports described that anomaly of pancreatic fusion 24,25 or pancreatic heterotopias 26 might cause congenital biliary dilatation.…”
