Abstract

We report a case of heterotopic pancreas located in the gastric antrum. The cystic formation contained mucus. Tumoral markers in the cyst fluid were within the range pancreatic cystic mucinous tumors. Pathology examination of the resected specimen did not evidence any proliferative lesions but showed papillary hyperplasia probably due to duct occlusion.
