Abstract
Heterotopic pancreas (HP) of the esophagus is rare. We report a patient with HP of the esophagus and review the presentation, treatment, and results of the nine previously reported cases. Two patients had cancer. This high incidence raises concerns that HP of the esophagus may be premalignant. Because surveillance endoscopy is not possible, all known or suspected esophageal HP should be treated surgically.Entities:
