Multimodality Imaging Evaluation of an Uncommon Entity : Esophageal Heterotopic Pancreas

الملخص EN

A 25-year-old male was referred to the Radiology Department with new onset of right upper quadrant and epigastric abdominal pain.

He had no past medical or surgical history.

Physical exam was unremarkable.

The patient underwent computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopic upper gastrointestinal (GI) evaluation, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and positron emission tomography (PET) evaluation, revealing the presence of a heterogeneous esophageal mass.

In light of imaging findings and clinical workup, the patient was ultimately referred for thorascopic surgery.

Surgical findings and histology confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal heterotopic pancreas.
