title: [Heterotopic pancreas. Three cases].
abstract: The authors report three cases of heterotopic pancreas discovered surgically in three young men. The heterotopy was located in the biliary tract in one case revealed by choledochal stenosis (case 1), in the stomach discovered at laparotomy for abdominal trauma (case 2) and in the first part of the duodenum discovered during hepatic resection for adenoma (case 3). Management consisted of Whipple's operation in the first case, tumor resection in the second and antroduodenectomy in the last case. Histological examination revealed no malignant transformation. Results were excellent with follow-up 2-years to 4 years. The authors recommend resection with histological examination for all case of heterotopic pancreas discovered at surgery.
