Ectopic pancreas is a rare congenital malformation with pancreatic tissue in an aberrant loca tion and not contiguous with the main gland. Patients suffering from ectopic pancreas usually have lesions in the stomach or duodenum. Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder is very rare, and only several cases have been reported. We report one case of a 33 year old man with ectopic pancreas presenting as repeatedly colic pain in the right upper quadrant of abdomen. He was first diagnosed as recurrent cholecys- titis accompanied by biliary pancreatitis, but surgical pathology proved he suffered from cholecystitis and ectopic pancreas in the gallbladder wall, and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy led to relief.
Ectopic pancreas is a rare congenital malformation with pancreatic tissue in an aberrant location and not contiguous with the main gland. Patients suffering from ectopic pancreas usually have lesions in the stomach or duodenum [1,2]. Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder is very rare, and only several cases have been reported [3-6]. We report one case of a 33-year-old man with ectopic pancreas presenting as repeatedly colic pain in the right upper quadrant of abdomen. He was first diagnosed as recurrent cholecystitis accompanied by biliary pancreatitis, but surgical pathology proved he suffered from cholecystitis and ectopic pancreas in the gallbladder wall, and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy led to relief.
