Introduction: Ectopic pancreatic tissue is defined as a pancreatic tissue in an abnormal location with no ducal,anatomical,neuronal and vascular communication with the main body of the pancreas.The incidence of ectopic pancreas in autopsy studies is approximately:0.55-13.7 percent. Ectopic pancreas is most frequently seen within the upper gastrointestinal tract involving the stomach,duodenum and jejunum.Less commonly it can be found within the ileum,bile ducts or gallbladder,umbilicus,splenic hilum,omen gum,mesentery and meckel s diverticulum.In majority of the cases it is an incidental finding and a symptomatic,but ectopic pancreas in stomach and duodenum can cause epigastric pain,ulceration and obstruction.
