Small bowel intussusception due to adenocarcinoma of ectopic pancreas in the jejunum: a case report
Detection typically requires surgery due to advanced-stage intestinal obstruction or accumulation, as observed in the present case. However, preoperative diagnosis and early detection of ectopic pancreatic cancer are challenging. The disease progresses similarly to pancreatic cancer, highlighting the need for early detection methods. Additionally, accumulating more case reports is essential for establishing an effective treatment strategy.
