Abstract
Purpose: This case report is to present the anatomical variation of ectopic pancreas and discuss about its clinical significance.
Methods: While dissecting an adult cadaver specimen, an ectopic pancreas specimen was found.
Results: The ectopic pancreatic tissue was located in the left lobe of the liver and the mesentery. After HE staining and microscopic observation, it was found that the ectopic pancreatic tissue contained ducts, islets, and acini, thus it was classified as Type I according to Gaspar Fuentes' classification.
Conclusion: We report an atypical variation of ectopic pancreas, which is located in the left lobe of the liver and the mesentery. This may be associated with certain digestive system diseases such as dyspepsia. The findings of this study can provide insights for the clinical diagnosis of digestive system diseases.
期刊介绍：
Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit.
Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest.
Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
