title: [Gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to heterotopic jejunal pancreas].
abstract: A case of heterotopic pancreas located in the small intestine is herewith presented. The 19-years male patient had been admitted three times since 1991 for an anemic syndrome secondary to melena. The origin of the hemorrhage was not determined with the studies performed (intestinal transit, opaque enema, esophagogastroscopy, colonoscopy and gammagraphy with technetium 99). On the last admission a vascular lesion low flow was observed on arteriography of the upper mesenteric artery on the mesenteric edge of the proximal jejunum. Following laparotomy a small tumor was found in the jejunum and 5 cm of the intestine including the tumor was resected. The anatomic pathologic results demonstrated a heterotopic pancreas.
