Ectopic Pancreas in Gall Bladder Associated With Chronic Chalculous Cholecystitis : Case Report

Abstract

Heterotopia is defined as the presence of a tissue outside of its natural location. Ectopic or heterotopic pancreatic tissue is a form of choristoma and is considered an embryological abnormality. Stomach, duodenum, jejunum and spleen are common localizations. The gallbladder is a very rare localization. In this case report, ectopic pancreatic tissue observed in the gallbladder of a 41 (forty-one) year old patient who is diagnosed with chronic calculous cholecystitis and operated on is discussed in the light of current literature.
