Heterotopic Pancreas Presenting as a Jejunal Nodule in a Young Patient with Breast Cancer

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is defined as the presence of pancreatic tissue in an aberrant location, without any vascular or anatomical continuity with the normal pancreas. HP is a rare condition occurring in 0.11%‡0.21% at autopsy, with a male to female ratio of 3:1 and a peak age incidence between the 4th and 6th decades of life. Up to 90% of HPs are found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, involving the stomach, duodenum or jejunum. We report a case of HP presenting as a jejunal nodule found in a young girl during the staging of breast cancer.
