[Ectopic pancreas in the surgical practice].
The incidence on ectopic pancreas, its localisation, clinical symptoms and methods of treatment have been analysed based of the five cases of this rare condition detected in our patients. The most common localization was in the prepyloric area and in the duodenal wall. The size of ectopic pancreas was small and the patients did not present specific clinical symptoms. It was detected in all cases by routine histopathological examination of surgical specimens.
