Abstract
A case of pancreatic heterotopia in a lymph node is described. Small pieces of pancreatic tissue were found incidentally in four lymph nodes located around the common hepatic artery in a 65-year-old man. Both exo- and endocrine elements of the pancreas, together with ductal structures were found to constitute the heterotopic tissue. No authentic case of heterotopic pancreas in lymph nodes has been previously reported in the literature.
