A CASE OF ABERRANT PANCREATIS OF THE DUODENUM CAUSING REPEATED GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING

Abstract

A 49-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of gastrointestinal bleeding. Bleeding source cannot be detected by ordinary gastrointestinal endoscopic examination, angiography and scintigraphy. However, endoscopic observation at the time of ERCP revealed a gentle submucosal tumor with hemorrhage from a central depression like a pin hole located at the superior duodenal angle. Surgical operation was performed. The pathological findings showed aberrant pancreatic tissues of Heinrich type I.
