Heterotopic pancreas is the presence of pancreatic tissue outside its normal location. It can develop similar pathological conditions that develop in the normal pancreas, including adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesions. Due to the rarity of the condition, the diagnosis can be challenging, and treatment is not well established. We present a 47-year-old female patient referred for endoscopic resection of a 2 cm polyp in the second part of her duodenum. Complete endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed, with pathology revealing low-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) in heterotopic pancreatic tissue. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of heterotopic pancreas with low-grade PanIN in the duodenum to be incidentally diagnosed and treated with EMR.
异位胰腺是指胰腺组织出现在其正常位置以外的地方。它可发生与正常胰腺相似的病理状况,包括腺癌及其前驱病变。由于该病症罕见,诊断具有挑战性,且治疗方法尚未明确。我们报告一名47岁女性患者,因十二指肠第二部有一个2厘米的息肉而前来接受内镜切除。进行了完整的内镜黏膜切除术(EMR),病理检查显示异位胰腺组织中有低级别胰腺上皮内瘤变(PanIN)。据我们所知,这是首例十二指肠异位胰腺伴低级别PanIN经偶然诊断并接受EMR治疗的病例。
