Article Synopsis
- The case discusses an annular pancreas where Wirsung's duct surrounds the duodenum and connects directly to the main pancreatic duct in the pancreas's body and tail.
- Histological examination revealed irregularly shaped islets of Langerhans with a high presence of pancreatic polypeptide (PP)-positive cells, highlighting a distinct area around the duodenum fused with a PP-poor region.
- An embryological theory is proposed that suggests incomplete rotation during pancreas development led to the duct formation and fusion issues between the ventral and dorsal pancreatic parts.
