چکیده

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is typically an asymptomatic malformation that can present anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. It is often found incidentally as a single focal mass in patients with abdominal complaints undergoing routine diagnostic testing. HP occasionally presents symptomatically, and the manifestations vary depending on the location of the lesion. We describe the first reported case of symptomatic jejunal HP which presents as a circumferential infiltrative lesion with multiple foci rather than a single focal mass. This is accompanied by a review of the current literature regarding the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment of HP. cAse RePoRT
