Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder: A rare incidental finding in a cholecystectomy specimen – A case report

Diagnosing EPT in the gallbladder before and during surgery often presents significant challenges. Pathologists should be aware of this rare incidental finding, as it can mimic a tumor and lead to an overdiagnosis of malignancy. Only a precise histopathologic examination can provide a definite diagnosis and distinguish it from malignancies. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is sufficing treatment.

Abstract

Diagnosing EPT in the gallbladder before and during surgery often presents significant challenges. Pathologists should be aware of this rare incidental finding, as it can mimic a tumor and lead to an overdiagnosis of malignancy. Only a precise histopathologic examination can provide a definite diagnosis and distinguish it from malignancies. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is sufficing treatment.
