The tale of 2 pancreases: Jejunal mesenteric ectopic pancreas causing recurrent ectopic pancreatitis.

Ectopic pancreas, or the presence of pancreatic tissue separate from the anatomic pancreas, is rarely reported in locations other than the stomach or duodenum. A 43-year-old female was found to have a large jejunal mesenteric ectopic pancreas causing ectopic pancreatitis during workup for frequent episodes of abdominal pain. We present the imaging findings and postresection pathology findings of a rare jejunal ectopic pancreas and discuss the potential complications of this unique condition.
