Ectopic pancreas is an uncommon clinical finding. It is rare for heterotopic pancreas tissue to cause symptoms, however every disease of the pancreas may develop in it. The most common sites for ectopic pancreas are the submucosal layer of the stomach and the small intestine. Symptomatic ectopic pancreas usually causes diagnostic difficulties. Surgical excision is recommended if the patient has complaints. We report the case of a 32-year-old man. We performed subtotal gastrectomy because of a submucosal, antral tumour, that caused gastric outlet obstruction. The histological examination verified ectopic pancreas tissue. The patient recovered without any complications.
