CYSTIC DYSTROPHY OF AN ABERRANT DUODENAL PANCREAS - A CASE-REPORT

Cystic dystrophy of the aberrant pancreas is a rare poorly understood condition which is difficult to diagnose and treat. The primary clinic al signs are epigastralgia associated with poor general health and com plications due to stenosis of the duodenum. Endoscopy gives the most i nformation on tissue lesions and cystic formations in rite duodenal mu cosa. Although the condition is benign, and due to the lack of suffici ent history in endoscopically treated cases, cystic dystrophy of the a berrant duodenal pancreas appears to require duodenopancreatectomy.
