[Cystic dystrophy in an antro-duodenal heterotopic antroduodenal pancreas].

Abstract

The authors report a case of cystic dystrophy in heterotopic pancreas in the absence of disease of the proper pancreas. This case is particular in regard of its association to pancreas divisum, its antro-bulbous localization, and its evolutive character marked by hyperamylasemia, ascite, and sharped inflammatory lesions of resection specimen. The diagnostic usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography is outlined.
