Abstract
Details of four patients who had ectopic pancreatic tissue are reported. One patient had diabetes mellitus and the ectopic pancreas was situated in the pyloric antrum. The pyloric antrum was also the location of the ectopic pancreas in the second child who had dyspeptic symptoms. In a third patient, in whom the ectopic pancreatic tissue lay in the pyloric canal, there was associated hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle and obstruction to gastric emptying. The fourth child had ectopic pancreatic tissue in the duodenum: this was not associated with obstruction but there was, coincidentally, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency neutropenic and metaphyseal chondrodysplasia.
