Özet

Introduction: Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EP) occurs in the gastrointestinal tract at a rate of 95%, usually detected incidentally. Pediatric cases have been reported rarely. Here, we present the patients who were detected during the endoscopic procedure.Methods: Between 2015-2018, 485 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy in two different centers were evaluated retrospectively in this study.Results: During the procedure, the lesion was detected in 14 patients (eight boys and six girls), which could be macroscopi-cally compatible with ectopic pancreatic tissue. The age range of the patients was 12.3±4.1 years. Eleven of the lesions were localized in the pre-pyloric antrum and one of them was located in the distal esophagus. Histopathological examination revealed ectopic pancreatic tissue in the esophagus biopsy specimen and in six of the antrum biopsy specimens.Discussion and Conclusion: EP is usually asymptomatic, commonly detected in the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stom-ach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, omentum, gallbladder, Meckel's diverticulum) and can be seen in all age groups. The gold standard for diagnosis is histopathological evaluation. There are few case reports in the pediatric age group. In our series, we found the incidence of EP to be 1%.
