Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.

This is a case report of a 51-year-old white female who underwent an endoscopy-assisted laparoscopic resection of a submucosal mass in the prepyloric region of the stomach, which turned out to be heterotopic pancreas. She presented with vague upper gastrointestinal complaints of pain, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, and an 8 pound weight loss. Her only diagnostic workup was an upper endoscopy, which revealed this submucosal umbilicated mass. This manuscript provides a detailed description of the operation and a discussion and review of the literature about gastric heterotopic pancreas.
