This anomaly is often an incidental finding during operation or autopsy. This peculiarity poses clinical and radiological challenges for surgeons, particularly during laparoscopic or open procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case report:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This article presents a compelling case of EPT, discovered incidentally during a planned laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient, a 50-year-old male with a history of biliary colic, underwent a meticulous laparoscopy exploration revealing an undistended gallbladder with an unexpected yellowish tissue fragment resembling pancreatic parenchyma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EPT has an incidence ranging from 0.55 % to 13.7 % in autopsy studies. While the origins of EPT remain unclear, theories regarding the embryonic separation of pancreatic tissue offer insights into its origins and displacement from the original site. Macroscopically, EPT may present as polypoid lesions or yellow nodules and is typically asymptomatic. The various attachment locations and potential manifestations in other intra-abdominal sites add complexity to its diagnosis. Imaging techniques are often ineffective, making histopathological examination essential for diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>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.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.110741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,18]],"date-time":"2024-12-18T12:17:39Z","timestamp":1734524259000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder: A rare incidental finding in a cholecystectomy specimen - A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"Taha Yassine","family":"Ayadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amel","family":"Changuel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hager","family":"Behi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nabil","family":"Haloui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karima","family":"Tlili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Med Bachir","family":"Khalifa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"R1-99-20260508","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac098","article-title":"A case report of ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder","volume":"2022","author":"Jansen van Rensburg","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
