HP is usually found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach, duodenum and jejunum. Mesenteric heterotopic pancreas (MHP) has been rarely described in the literature, and there has been no reported case under ten years of age. We report a unique case of a 7-year-old African boy who presented with clinical appendicitis and intraoperatively was found to have a necrotic nodular mass in the jejunal mesentery which required segmental small bowel resection. Histology revealed mesenteric heterotopic pancreas with normal pancreatic tissue. As pre-operative diagnosis of MHP is difficult; we encourage a heightened awareness of this condition as a differential diagnosis in children presenting with abdominal pain and an inflammatory mass, which will subsequently aid in the management of these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjz395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,18]],"date-time":"2019-12-18T20:11:08Z","timestamp":1576699868000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A rare case of mesenteric heterotopic pancreas presenting as an inflammatory mass"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2020","author":[{"given":"Yaying Eileen","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgical Department, Caboolture Hospital, Caboolture, Queensland 4510, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rasika","family":"Hendahewa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgical Department, Caboolture Hospital, Caboolture, Queensland 4510, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020021209332894700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"484","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.2017160091","article-title":"Heterotopic pancreas: histopatho- logic features , imaging findings","volume":"37","author":"Menias","year":"2017","journal-title":"Radiographics."},{"key":"2020021209332894700_ref2","first-page":"4","article-title":"Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the wall of the small intestine","volume":"35","author":"Li","year":"2017","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)."},{"key":"2020021209332894700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-9261.91088","article-title":"Heterotopic pancreas causing duodenal obstruction in a patient previously treated for choledochal cy","volume":"17","author":"Deshpande","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"2020021209332894700_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.12998\/wjcc.v6.i14.847","article-title":"Mesenteric heterotopic pancreas in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of literature","volume":"6","author":"Tang","year":"2018","journal-title":"World J Clin Cases"},{"key":"2020021209332894700_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1007\/s12519-009-0029-y","article-title":"Duodenal heterotopic pancreas in a child","volume":"5","author":"Zheng","year":"2009","journal-title":"World J Pediatr"},{"key":"2020021209332894700_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"354","DOI":"10.4103\/0189-6725.143172","article-title":"Heterotopic pancreas in Meckel\u2019s diverticulum in a 7-year-old child with intussusception and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding: case report and literature review focusing on diagnostic controversies","volume":"11","author":"Riccardo","year":"2014","journal-title":"African J Paediatr Surg"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2020\/2\/rjz395\/32442625\/rjz395.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2020\/2\/rjz395\/32442625\/rjz395.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,12]],"date-time":"2020-02-12T14:33:48Z","timestamp":1581518028000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjz395\/5734248"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,1]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjz395","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2042-8812"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2020,2]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,1]]},"article-number":"rjz395"}}
