Heterotopic Pancreatic Tissue in Gallbladder: A Report of an Unusual Entity at an Extremely Rare Location

This case highlights that histopathology should be mandatory for all excised gallbladder specimens and that this entity should be considered among the differentials for nodular/polypoidal gallbladder lesions. Although the cases where the ectopic pancreas is discovered incidentally do not have much clinical significance, this may prevent the patient from undergoing more aggressive treatment reserved for conditions like pancreatitis or malignancy in cases where the ectopic pancreas mimics a malignancy.
