Abstract

Heterotopic pancreas, a rare congenital malformation, manifests outside the normal pancreas. Research suggests that abnormal embryonic development is linked to the presence of heterotopic pancreas. Three prevailing theories explain its mechanism: Dislocation theory, metaplasia theory, and totipotent stem cell theory. Clinical presentations of heterotopic pancreas are often nonspecific, with most patients being asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during unrelated surgeries or examinations. Endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are commonly employed diagnostic tools for heterotopic pancreas. However, the accuracy of diagnosis based on these methods is not consistently high, necessitating histopathological confirmation in many cases. Treatment options for heterotopic pancreas typically involve endoscopic resection, surgical resection, or observation through follow-up.

异位胰腺诊断和治疗的进展。
异位胰腺是一种罕见的先天性畸形,表现在正常胰腺之外。研究表明,胚胎发育异常与异位胰腺的存在有关。目前有三种理论可以解释其发病机制:错位理论、移行理论和全能干细胞理论。异位胰腺的临床表现通常无特异性,大多数患者无症状,是在无关的手术或检查中偶然发现的。内窥镜超声波、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像是异位胰腺的常用诊断工具。然而,基于这些方法的诊断准确率并不总是很高,许多病例需要组织病理学确认。异位胰腺的治疗方案通常包括内镜切除、手术切除或随访观察。

期刊介绍: The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
