Incidental finding of intramural splenic heterotopy in the colon mimicking subepithelial neoplasm: a case report.
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.*
Heterotopic pancreas is a rare congenital abnormality. The most common location is the stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum. Rare locations are represented by the ampulla of Vater, esophagus, ileum, Meckel diverticulum, biliary tract, mesentery and spleen.

Pancreatic heterotopy is a rare entity defined as the presence of abnormally located pancreatic tissue without any anatomical or vascular connection to the normal pancreas. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue can be found in various regions of the digestive system, such as the stomach, duodenum, and upper jejunum, with the less commonly reported location being the gallbladder. Gallbladder pancreatic heterotopia can be either an incidental finding or diagnosed in association with cholecystitis.

Foci of splenic tissue separated from the spleen can occur as a congenital anomaly. Isolated nodules of splenic tissue are called accessory spleens or spleniculli. However, nodules of splenic tissue can merge with other organs during embryonic development, in which case we speak of spleno-visceral fusions: most often, they merge with the tail of the pancreas (thus forming spleno-pancreatic fusion or an intrapancreatic accessory spleen), with the reproductive gland (i.

BACKGROUND Nesidioblastosis is a rare disease that is part of the differential diagnosis of pancreatogenic hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PHH) in patients whose imaging studies do not localize insulinoma. Pancreatic heterotopia is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by pancreatic tissue anatomically separated from the main gland and found in 0.5% of abdominal surgeries.
