Zusammenfassung: | Heterotopic pancreas is defined as the presence of aberrant pancreatic tissue present outside the pancreas without connection to its neural, vascular, and anatomic location. The commonly seen locations are stomach, duodenum, jejunum, Meckel commonly seen locatio, and ampulla of Vater. The gallbladder is an extremely rare site for pancreatic heterotropia.
