Epidemiology
Aberrant pancreas or pancreatic heterotopia in the wall of
the stomach is a most uncommon finding that refers to
pancreatic tissue without anatomic, vascular or neurogenic
connections with the main gland. A five year old child was
admitted to our hospital with a three-day history of diffuse
recurrent abdominal pain, no nauseas or vomits, no further
symptomsassociated.Thiswashis thirdsimilar episode inaone
month period and he had been seen at two different hospitals in
a period of two years but not admitted on each occasion. Blood
test, abdominal examination and imaging, including computed
tomography (CT) were negative during an episode three weeks
previously and were also negative during the last hospital
admission. The emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy
evaluation revealed a heterogeneous lesion in the antrum of
the stomach with a small anechoic area, which was suspected
to be aberrant pancreas. We suspected that the epigastralgia
might imply some sort of inflammation in the submucosal
lesion. The patient was successfully treated surgically by
excision of the lesion. Pathological examinations confirmed
a diagnosis of aberrant pancreas. Pediatric patients with
recurrent, episodic abdominal pain should undergo systematic
evaluation in the emergency department. A previous negative
study should not dissuade physicians from proceeding with a
systematic and complete evaluation of the pediatric patient
with recurrent abdominal pain, and this is due to the limited
use of diagnostic tests and conservative management, due to
health policies not medical or clinical.
