Ectopic pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly represented by a cluster of aberrant pancreatic tissue outside its natural anatomical place seen at any time in life. The most frequent location is the duodenum or gastric tissue. Its clinical manifestations are nonspecific and can make diagnosis difficult. Pancreatic ectopy can also be seen in other organs or extra-abdominal regions, for example, in the lung, mediastinum and umbilicus. The incidence of ectopic pancreas in necropsy findings ranges from 0.6 to 5.6%. The author reports the case of a patient with ectopic pancreas located in the gastric antrum and reviews the literature.
