An ectopic pancreas in the gastrointestinal tract is mostly found incidentally and its
malignant transformation is extremely rare. We report herein a rare case of
malignant transformation of ectopic pancreas in the stomach, associated with
gastric outlet obstruction. A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital,
complaining of vomiting. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an encircling
submucosal tumor-like lesion on the prepyloric antrum showing outlet obstruction.
Abdominal CT showed an enhancing mass on the antrum and PET CT showed
hypermetabolic wall thickening. So we performed a subtotal gastrectomy. Surgical
specimens showed a moderately differentiated ductal adenocarcinoma, and the
tumor cells were strongly positive for cytokeratin 7. The tumor was located close to
the ectopic pancreas tissue. The tumor showed subserosal and omental invasion.
There was one lymph node metastasis and no distant metastasis. The patient is
being followed up in the outpatient department. |
