| description | Heterotopic pancreas is often an incidental finding and can be found at the stomach. However,
heterotopic pancreas containing abundant fat is very rare. Fatty replacement of the pancreas is
the most frequent pathologic finding, but the precise etiology of the entity remains unclear.
The pathological findings observed in the pancreas can also occur in the heterotopic pancreas.
Here, we present a case of heterotopic pancreas in the stomach. On CT and MR imaging, it manifested as a predominant fat-density submucosal mass with enhancing solid component. |
