Sonographic appearance of an aberrant pancreas with unusual characteristics

Abstract

Aberrant pancreas is a relatively rare condition, and generally lacks clinical importance. Given its small size and the fact that it is most frequently located in the stomach and small intestine, its ultrasonographic appearance has not yet been described. This article presents a case of aberrant pancreas in the stomach. It was detected by abdominal ultrasonography of the wall of the fluidfilled stomach. CASE REPORTFIGURE 3. Pancreatic acini (thin arrows) and dilated pancreatic ductus (broad arrows) can be observed among the muscle fibers. JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ULTRASOUND
