Case description

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is defined as the presence of pancreatic tissue that has neither anatomical nor vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. We present an extremely rare case of HP found in a 43 year-old woman’s gallbladder with cholelithiasis. Its pre-operative diagnosis is very difficult and HP usually is diagnosed at pathological examination.
