HERNANDEZ AMADOR, José Fernando et al. Ectopic pancreas in gastric antrum. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.127-129. ISSN 1870-7203.

Ectopic pancreas is a rare entity. Usually found in 50-60 year old males, its most frequent location is the stomach; frequently asymptomatic, depending on the size of the tumor it could manifest with epigastric pain or occlusion. Obtaining a definitive diagnosis is difficult preoperatively. Diagnostic methods include endoscopic biopsy, tomography and endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle biopsy, although their role is limited. So far there is no consensus for the treatment of choice in ectopic pancreas, which ranges from endoscopic resection to diverse gastrectomy techniques.
