Abstract

In the literature there are reports on rare pancreatic tissue heterotopy that promotes the complicated course of duodenal or gastric ulcerative disease. In this connection, the authors have decided to share their observation of a 41-year-old female patient admitted to a hospital for perforated ulcer and ulcerous hemorrhage. Another ulcerative stenosis and ulcer penetration into the pancreas were found at surgery. Partial gastrectomy was carried out due to failure to suture the perforative opening. A gross biopsy specimen from the pyloric portion of the stomach displayed heterotopic parts in the pancreas with and without excretory ducts.
