Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is a rare phenomenon, which may occur in locations outside of the pancreas within the gastrointestinal tract. Of these locations, involvement in the esophagus is quite rare. It is paramount to improve our understanding regarding heterotopic pancreas, as some lesions may carry malignant potential. With this article, we present a case of heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus and review the current literature.
异位胰腺组织是一种罕见现象，可发生在胃肠道内胰腺以外的部位。在这些部位中，食管受累相当罕见。提高我们对异位胰腺的认识至关重要，因为一些病变可能具有恶性潜能。通过本文，我们报告一例远端食管异位胰腺病例并回顾当前文献。
