Abstract:
Heterotopic pancreas in the gallbladder is extremely rare and usually incidentally discovered at the pathologic examination followed by cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallbladder disease. Up to the presents, only about 30 cases have been reported. We report the case of a 36-year-old female who presented with symptoms of cholecystitis. The histological analysis followed by cholecystectomy revealed heterotopic pancreas of the cystic duct.
