[Bile duct dilatation associated with pancreatic heterotopia: a case report].

Abstract

Pancreatic heterotopia or aberrant pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly, usually asymptomatic. Its diagnosis is difficult. We report an original observation in an 8-month-old infant, operated in the neonatal period for esophageal atresia type III in the context of VACTERL syndrome, cystic dilatation of the bile duct, and pancreatic heterotopia.
