Abstract
Heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the small-bowel mesentery is an extre mely rare anomaly: no such case has been reported in the English liter ature. We report a 5-year-old boy in whom the aberrant tissue formed a retroperitoneal cyst. The condition was further complicated by a vent ral pancreatic duct defect. The unique clinical manifestations and dif ficulty in making the diagnosis are discussed.
