Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Pancreatic heterotopia has been described most frequently in stomach and duodenum. Isolated occurrence of heterotopic pancreas in ileum is exceptional and is usually discovered incidentally during surgery. In rare cases, heterotopic pancreas has been reported as a lead point of ileoileal intussusception.
Case Report: A one-year-old boy was presented with recent onset of constipation and abdominal distention. Radiologic investigation suggested a diagnosis of midgut volvulus with ileoileal intussusception. Resection anastomosis of the intussusception was performed. Histologic examination of the resected specimen showed heterotopic pancreas in the wall of intussusceptum at its tip. No other significant pathology was found. Conclusion: Ileal heterotopic pancreas is a rare cause of intussusception at any age and is usually not evident clinically. Hence, careful examination of the lead point of intussusceptum in resection specimens is mandatory to delineate the underlying etiology of these cases. | |
