Abstract
Paraduodenal pancreatitis in heterotopic pancreas is a rare condition and few cases of malignant transformation are described. A case of cystic dystrophy of the duodenal wall in heterotopic pancreas complicated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma is described. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance and endoscopic ultrasonography failed to show preoperatively, the locally advanced adenocarcinoma raising reasonable doubts on the effectiveness and safety of conservative treatments for paraduodenal pancreatitis.Entities:
