The giant lower esophageal diverticulum within a heterotopic pancreas

The lower esophageal diverticulum (LED) and heterotopic pancreas (EP), also named aberrant pancreas, are considered as a congenital anomaly. The merger of them is extremely rare, and usually causes a wrong diagnosis. Here we reported a 27-year-old woman was diagnosed as with right pulmonary abscess and accepted treatments with meropenem and bromhexine for 1 month, then was with chest computed tomography (CT), esophageal iodine radiography and endoscopy. The woman was underwent right thoractomy exploration and resection of lesion. The pathological diagnosis was confirmed the lower esophageal diverticulum and heterotopic pancreas.
