Having all features of pancreatic tissue except for the major duct structures, this ectopic tissue may be clinically recognized when pathologic changes take place. Inflammation, hemorrhagic or obstructive states, and eventually malignancy-related problems may become a diagnostic challenge for clinician and finally lead to consequences of misdiagnosis. In this article we will discuss a case of heterotopic pancreatic tissue located in gastric cardia, which was diagnosed preoperatively as gastrointestinal stromal tumor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-13-00242.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,18]],"date-time":"2015-03-18T22:39:23Z","timestamp":1426718363000},"page":"486-489","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Heterotopic Pancreatic Pseudocyst Radiologically Mimicking Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Dauren","family":"Sarsenov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet B\u00fclent","family":"T\u0131rnaks\u0131z","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmet B\u00fclent","family":"Do\u011frul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zlem","family":"Tanas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00f6khan","family":"Gedikoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Osman","family":"Abbaso\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"key":"i0020-8868-100-3-486-b01","series-title":"The pancreas: an integrated textbook of basic science, medicine, and surgery","article-title":"Congenital and inherited anomalies","volume":"60","author":"Zenker\n              M,","year":"2008","unstructured":"Zenker\n              M, \n            \n              Lerch\n              MM. \n          \n          Congenital and inherited anomalies.
