Ectopic pancreas in the fallopian tube. Report of a first case

Obstet Gynecol. 1976 Jul;48(1 Suppl):70S-75S.

Abstract

A case of ectopic pancreas in the fallopian tube is reported. This small, polypoid, benign tumor was in a fallopian tube contralateral to a ruptured tubal pregnancy. The patient had a tubal ligation performed six years previously. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case of isolated ectopic pancreas in a fallopian tube. No explanation is offered for the pathogenesis of this lesion.
