Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic heterotopia (PH) refers to the presence of pancreatic tissue in locations outside its normal site, usually without any connection to the pancreas, and is typically asymptomatic.
- Symptoms, when they occur, can resemble those of Crohn's disease, including abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea, and often manifest in adulthood.
- A case study revealed a patient initially diagnosed with Crohn's disease, who later had surgery that identified ectopic pancreatic tissue as the underlying cause of her gastrointestinal symptoms, which resolved after resection.
