RESUMO
O pâncreas ectópico é uma anomalia congênita rara representada por um aglomerado de tecido pancreático aberrante fora de seu lugar anatômico natural, visto em qualquer época da vida. A localização mais frequente é o duodeno ou tecido gástrico. Suas manifestações clínicas são inespecíficas e podem dificultar o diagnóstico. A ectopia pancreática pode ser vista também em outros órgãos ou regiões extra-abdominais como, por exemplo, no pulmão, mediastino e no umbigo. A incidência do pâncreas ectópico em achados de necropsias varia entre 0,6 a 5,6%. O autor relata um caso de um paciente com pâncreas ectópico localizado no antro gástrico que provocava sintomatologia gastrointestinal associado a baixo peso e faz uma breve revisão da literatura.

Ectopic pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly represented by a cluster of aberrant pancreatic tissue outside its natural anatomical place seen at any time in life. The most frequent location is the duodenum or gastric tissue. Its clinical manifestations are nonspecific and can make diagnosis difficult. Pancreatic ectopy can also be seen in other organs or extra-abdominal regions, for example, in the lung, mediastinum and umbilicus. The incidence of ectopic pancreas in necropsy findings ranges from 0.6 to 5.6%. The author reports the case of a patient with ectopic pancreas located in the gastric antrum and reviews the literature. [au]
RESUMO
Appendiceal mucocele is a rare entity characterized by a gross enlargement of the appendix from accumulation of mucoid substance within the lumen. It is encountered in only 0.1 - 0.4% of all appendicectomies with a female predominance (M/F: 1/4) and a mean age of more than 50 years at the time of presentation . Because of that, appendiceal mucocele is often incidentally discovered either during surgery or on radiologic examination. A case of benign appendiceal mucocele is reported here, in a 49 years old male. The pathogenesis and the different surgical strategies are discussed.
