Clin Imaging. 2002 Jul-Aug;26(4):267-9. doi: 10.1016/s0899-7071(01)00408-9.

Abstract

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is generally an asymptomatic lesion and is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction. We report such a case in which both upper gastrointestinal series and abdominal computerized tomography (CT) demonstrated an antral mass; surgical and histological results are also reported.
