Abstract
The human embryology and anatomy still overwhelms us with different anatomic variants of different organs. Here, we present an asymptomatic jejunal heterotropic pancreas. A 61 year-old French white male presenting with complicated diverticular disease. A jejunal mass was detected intra-operatively, which turns out to be an ectopic pancreas. Ectopic pancreas or heterotropic pancreas is an uncommon pathology. Different locations on the alimentary tract have been described in the literature. Macroscopic identification is merely impossible. The knowledge of such an entity and its capability to complicate, might add an insight to our list of differential diagnosis when dealing with abdominal cases.
