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.

Abstract Background and study aims Heterotopic pancreas is a common subepithelial lesion in the stomach. However, its histological diagnosis is difficult when tissue samples are obtained with a conventional biopsy forceps. This study aimed to describe the magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) features of gastric heterotopic pancreas. Patients and methods We retrospectively analyzed a database of all patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) at Pusan National University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2010. Thirty-six patients with endosonographically diagnosed heterotopic pancreas who underwent ME-NBI and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) simultaneously were studied. The ME-NBI features of their lesions were analyzed. Results Thirty lesions were located in the antrum and six in the body. Six lesions (17 %) showed umbilication or central dimpling on the surface, and nine (25 %) had a macroscopic opening on the surface. On ME-NBI, a microscopic opening was identified in 22 (81 %) of 27 lesions wherein a macroscopic opening was not observed during conventional endoscopy. Macroscopic or microscopic opening was observed in 31 lesions (86 %). The frequency of macroscopic or microscopic opening was higher in lesions with anechoic duct-like structures than in lesions without such structures on EUS (91 % [29/32] vs 50 % [2/4], P = 0.027). Focal loss of microsurface structure and presence of a thickened submucosal vessel were observed in 6 (17 %) and 5 lesions (14 %), respectively. Conclusions The characteristic ME-NBI feature of heterotopic pancreas is presence of a microscopic opening on its surface. This ME-NBI feature is potentially useful for differentiating heterotopic pancreas from other gastric subepithelial tumors.
