Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) is a rare condition in which pancreatic tissue is situated outside its normal position. It is commonly found in the stomach and small bowel, typically asymptomatic, and is usually discovered incidentally during histopathological analysis. Although fewer than 40 cases of ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder have been reported, its significance relies on the risk of malignant transformation, highlighting the need for a thorough pathological study. This case report describes the presence of EPT in the gallbladder incidentally found during the pathological examination following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy of a 37-year-old female due to chronic cholecystitis.
异位胰腺组织（EPT）是一种罕见的病症，其中胰腺组织位于其正常位置之外。它通常在胃和小肠中发现，通常无症状，并且通常在组织病理学分析过程中偶然发现。虽然胆囊中异位胰腺组织的病例报告少于40例，但其重要性在于恶性转化的风险，这突出了进行全面病理研究的必要性。本病例报告描述了一名37岁女性因慢性胆囊炎接受腹腔镜胆囊切除术后病理检查时偶然发现的胆囊中存在异位胰腺组织。
