Abstract

Heterotopic pancreas is defined as the presence of pancreatic tissue that lacks anatomic and vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. Frequent symptoms and signs are epigastric pain, abdominal fullness and tarry stools. The most frequent locations of heterotopic pancreas tissue are the stomach and jejunum; however, there are a few reported cases of heterotopic pancreas in the mesentery of the small intestine. Heterotopic pancreas may or may not cause complications related to the pathologic conditions of the pancreas itself. Here we present a case showing an unusual cause of acute abdomen, which caused confusion in the clinical diagnosis preoperatively. The definitive diagnosis was achieved only after histopathologic examination in the postoperative period. Final diagnosis of the patient was mesenteric heterotopic pancreatitis, which was a complication of heterotopic pancreas itself with a rarely seen location. In conclusion, mesenteric heterotopic pancreatitis is seen very rarely and may be an unusual cause of acute abdomen. If the pathologic condition develops in the heterotopic tissue, as in the case of heterotopic pancreas, signs and symptoms of the disease may cause confusion in the clinical diagnosis. We agree that preoperative diagnosis of heterotopic pancreas is still difficult, even in a symptomatic patient.

Özet

Heterotopik pankreas, pankreasın ana gövdesi ile anatomik ve vasküler bağlantısı olmayan pankreas dokusunun bulunması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Sık belirti ve bulguları epigastrik ağrı, karında dolgunluk ve katran gibi dışkıdır. Dokusunun en sık lokalizasyonu mide ve jejunumdur, ancak ince barsak mezenterinde yerleşmiş bir kaç heterotopik pankreas vakası bildirilmiştir. Heterotopik pankreas pankreasın kendisine ait patolojik durumla ilgili olan ve olmayan komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Biz burada preoperatif olarak klinik tanıda karışıklığa neden olan akut abdomenin alışılmadık bir nedenini bulunduran bir vaka sunduk. Kesin tanı ancak postoperatif dönemde sonuçlanan histopatolojik inceleme sonrasında başarıldı. Son tanı çok nadir bir lokalizasyonda görülen heterotopik pankreasın kendisine ait bir komplikasyonu olan mezenterik heterotopik pankreatitti. Sonuç olarak mezenterik heterotopik pankreatit çok nadir görülmektedir ve akut karının alışılmadık bir nedeni olabilir. Eğer bir dokunun patolojik durumu heterotopik olanında oluşursa, heterotopik pankreas vakasında olduğu gibi hastalığın belirti ve bulguları klinik tanıda karışıklığa neden olabilir. Biz, semptomatik hastalarda dahi preoperatif olarak heterotopik pankreas tanısının halen zor olduğu gerçeğine katılmaktayız.
