Laparoscopic wedge resection for gastric ectopic pancreas.

Ectopic pancreas is pancreatic tissue found outside the usual anatomic location of the pancreas. It is often an incidental finding in clinical practice and can be found at different sites in the gastrointestinal tract. Although usually a silent anomaly, it may become clinically evident when complicated by pathologic changes such as inflammation, bleeding, obstruction, and malignant transformation.
