Abstract
Ectopic pancreas (EP) is the presence of an abnormally located focus of normally developed pancreatic tissue outside the boundaries of the orthotopic pancreas. Although EP is usually found in the upper gastrointestinal tract they also could be found anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, pelvis and in the thorax. Here, we report an uncommon case of EP in the duodenal bulb.
