Abstract
Background: Ectopic pancreas is defined as the presence of normally organized pancreatic tissue lying outside its normal location without any anatomical and vascular continuity with the proper pancreas. It is frequently found in stomach, duodenum, gall bladder, liver, spleen etc. and very rarely found associated with the Meckel’s diverticulum. The reported frequency of ectopic pancreatic tissue ranges between 0.5-14%. A combination of Meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue is extremely rare. Case Report: We report a case of a 14-year-old male with abdominal pain, loss of appetite and vomiting, later found histologically ectopic pancreatic tissue in a Meckel’s diverticulum. Conclusion: Definitive preoperative diagnosis is challenging for such rare entities and requires pathological examination of the resected specimen.
Keywords : Abdominal Pain, Liver, Meckel Diverticulum, Pancreas, Vomiting.
