Neoplastic lesions include pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, solid pseudopapillary tumor, pancreatoblas-toma, pancreatic lymphoma, metastases to the pancreas, and rare miscellaneous neoplasms. Solid lesions of the pancreas represent a heterogeneous group of entities that can be broadly classified as either neoplastic or nonneoplas-tic. In most of cases, for this patients, surgery is curative and definitive solution. Conclusion: Although presentation of ectopic pancreatic tissue in stomach is a very rare condition, it should be considered during gastroitestinal diagnostic in patients with nonspecific gastrointestinal sympto-matology. Postoperatively patient fully recovered, and in the 2 year folow-up did not develop any symptoms related to gas-trointestinal tract. Hi-stopathology findings showed ectopic pancreatic tissue in the submucosal and muscular layer of the stomach. Gastro-tomy with total extraction of tumor was performed. Endoscopic ul-trasonography and CT of the abdomen showed submu-cosal tumor, 18 mm in diameter, located in the prepylo-ric region. Histopathological findings described normal gastric mucosa. Esophagogastrodu-odenoscopy showed submucosal mass in the prepyloric region, biopsy was performed. Case report: A 56-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain, nausea and fatigue. Ectopic pancreas is diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound, gastroscopy and biopsy, CT scan and MRI of the abdomen, a definitive diagnosis is verified by hi-stopathological examination. The most common hete-rotopic site is the stomach commonly involving antrum and prepyloric region on the greater curvature or posterior wall. It is a presence of pancreatic tissue without anatomic or vascular continuity with the normally developed pancreas. Introduction: Ectopic pancreas is a rare developmental anomaly.
