ECTOPIC PANCREATIC ISLETS IN SPLENIC HILUM : VERY RARE CASE REPORT
Joyshree Panda, Shubhankar Mishra, Debi Prasad Mishra
Abstract :
Ectopic pancreatic tissue (or heterotopic pancreatic tissue) refers to the situation where rests of pancreatic tissue lie outside and separate to the gland without anatomic and vascular continuity with the normal pancreas. It is common in stomach, duodenum and jejunum. Splenic hilum is an uncommon site, and more uncommon is finding of islet cells in it. A 40 year old female patient with Sickle cell anaemia trait and massive splenomegaly underwent splenectomy. Gross examination of spleen showed a nodule near the hilum, which on histosection showed pancreatic tissue having ducts, acinus and islet cells.
