Heterotopic pancreas of the gallbladder: A case report of a rare and commonly incidental finding.
Ann Hepatobiliary Pancreat Surg
January 2025
Northern Hospital, Melbourne Medical School, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Heterotopic pancreas (HP) refers to the presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue located outside of the normal pancreatic location without anatomical or vascular continuity with the pancreas. HP within the gallbladder (HPGB) was first described by Otschkin in 1916. It remains an exceedingly rare pathology with few reported cases.

Article Synopsis
- Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) is an uncommon congenital anomaly where pancreatic tissue exists outside the main pancreas, with a case study highlighting a 56-year-old man who had EPT found incidentally after a car accident.
- After an emergency surgery for severe abdominal injuries, a submucosal mass was identified and diagnosed as EPT, which is usually asymptomatic but can lead to serious complications.
- Surgical removal is crucial for both symptomatic and incidental EPT, as it can potentially cause intestinal issues, and awareness of EPT is important in diagnosing intestinal lesions.
Spectrum of Heterotopic and Ectopic Splenic Conditions.
Radiographics
November 2024
From the Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, E3/311 Clinical Science Center, 600 Highland Ave, Madison, WI 53792-3252 (L.W.N., M.G.L., P.J.P.); Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Mo (S.M.B., S.B.); and American College of Radiology (ACR) Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP), Silver Spring, Md (M.G.L., P.J.P.).
A spectrum of heterotopic and ectopic splenic conditions may be encountered in clinical practice as incidental asymptomatic detection or symptomatic diagnosis. The radiologist needs to be aware of these conditions and their imaging characteristics to provide a prompt correct diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis as neoplasm or lymphadenopathy. Having a strong knowledge base of the embryologic development of the spleen improves understanding of the pathophysiologic basis of these conditions.

J Med Case Rep
September 2024
Fila Medicina Diagnóstica, São Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- This case report details a unique occurrence of splenic heterotopia found in the colon, diagnosed through an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy.* -
- Splenic heterotopia is a benign condition where splenic tissue is located outside its normal site, often related to previous splenic trauma or removal, but this case had no such history.* -
- The presented case marks the first documented instance of primary intramural colic splenosis identified through histological and immunohistochemical techniques in this specific location.*
Antithrombotic Revascularization Strategy of Bioengineered Liver Using a Biomimetic Polymer.
Tissue Eng Part A
September 2024
Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- * The researchers introduced a new antithrombotic polymer called MPC to reduce blood clotting (thrombogenicity) in these liver scaffolds during blood flow.
- * Results showed that the MPC-treated scaffolds had significantly less platelet buildup and better preserved liver function compared to untreated or differently treated scaffolds, making it a promising method for future liver transplants.
