Abstract
Aheterotopic pancreas is a developmental anomaly defined as pancreatic tissue found on ectopic sites without contiguity with the main pancreas. 1 A heterotopic pancreas of the ileum is rare and is usually found in a Meckel diverticu-lum, which may cause intussusception in childhood. 2,3 An isolated heterotopic pancreas as the lead point of intussusception is extremely rare. 1 Furthermore, to our best knowledge, sonographic features of an isolated heterotopic pancreas in ileoileal intussusception have not been reported. We report a case of an isolated heterotopic pancreas in a 6-month-old boy with ileoileal intussusception and describe the sonographic features that correlated with the histopathologic findings.
