Abstract
A 41-years-old man visited our clinic with complaints nausea and epigastric pain. X-ray and endoscopic examinations showed a round elevated lesion with mucosal bridges on the posterior wall of the lower body of the stomach. Histological examination of the lesion by endoscopic biopsy revealed Heinrich-II aberrant pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a high ecohic mass in the 3rd layer. There were ductal shadows and some high ecohoic areas with acoustic shadows in the mass. CT scan revealed some calcifications on the posterior wall of the stomach. Gastrectomy was performed. There were some stones in the dilated ducts of the aberrant panceatic tissue. On the aberrant pancreas, histological findings of ductitis but not of chronic pancreatitis were demonstrated. We suggested that the stone formation in the aberrant pancreas was due to obstruction of pancreatic ducts by inflammation, in its etiology.
