Abstract
Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is the presence of pancreatic tissue outside of its normal anatomical position without vascular continuity from the main pancreas. HP is most commonly found within the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach through the jejunum. This report shares the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with persistent vomiting despite medical therapy. Given the nonspecific and broad differential diagnosis, a histopathological examination was warranted for a definitive diagnosis that showed a uniquely large and well-differentiated type I HP in the lesser curvature of the stomach. Resection was completed which was followed with resolution of symptoms.
