Abstract
An ectopic pancreatic rest (also known as myoepithelial hamartoma) is a congenital anomaly most commonly found in the stomach, duodenum, or proximal jejunum. In the stomach, ectopic pancreatic rests typically appear on barium studies as small submucosal masses on the greater curvature of the distal antrum within 1–6cm of the pylorus.1–3 However, we report an unusually large ectopic pancreatic rest in the proximal stomach adjacent to the cardia that was indistinguishable from a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) or other gastric neoplasms on barium study.
