Esophagus, Stomach & Intestine; A Case of Ectopic Pancreas of the Duodenum with Massive upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding / 대한소화기내시경학회지

ABSTRACT

Ectopic pancreas is commonly located at stomach, duodenum and jejunum. It is a relatively rare entity and is usually of no clinical importance which especially is a very rare source of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We have recently experienced a case of an ectopic pancreas in the second portion of the duodenum which was proven to be a source of massive gastrointestinal bleeding by duodenoscopy and was confirmed by surgical exploration.
