Hemorragia gastrointestinal de origen oscuro secundaria a páncreas ectópico. Reporte de caso

Abstract

Resumen Introducción: el páncreas ectópico es un tumor benigno subepitelial con posición anatómica anormal, generalmente es diagnosticado de manera incidental, ya que no produce síntomas y es difícil identificar en estudios paraclínicos. La incidencia es muy baja, por lo que nuestro objetivo es presentar el caso de un paciente con páncreas ectópico como causa rara de hemorragia gastrointestinal de origen oscuro. Caso clínico: un hombre de 70 años se presentó con melena, anemia y pérdida de peso. El abordaje inicial incluyó estudios endoscópicos (panendoscopia, colonoscopia, enteroscopia), gammagrama con eritrocitos marcados y tomografía computarizada, en los que no se identificó el sitio de sangrado, por lo tanto se realizó laparoscopia exploratoria que reveló una lesión exofítica de 3 x 3 cm en yeyuno proximal, la cual se resecó por completo y la histopatología reportó páncreas ectópico. Conclusiones: esta patología es una causa poco común pero potencialmente grave de hemorragia gastrointestinal, ya que el diagnóstico definitivo a menudo se retrasa. Por lo tanto, la sospecha clínica es crucial para un diagnóstico temprano y tratamiento oportuno, que involucra un equipo multidisciplinario de especialistas en gastroenterología, radiología, patología y cirugía general. En este trabajo presentamos uno de los pocos casos reportados de páncreas ectópico como la causa de hemorragia de intestino medio.

Background: Ectopic pancreas is a benign subepithelial tumor with an abnormal anatomical position, typically diagnosed incidentally as it does not produce symptoms and is challenging to identify in paraclinical studies. The incidence is very low, so our objective is to present the case of a patient with ectopic pancreas as a rare cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Clinical case: A 70-year-old man presented with melena, anemia, and weight loss. The initial approach involved endoscopic studies (panendoscopy, colonoscopy, enteroscopy), a tagged red blood cell scan and computed tomography, none of which identified the bleeding site. Therefore, an exploratory laparoscopy was performed, revealing a 3 x 3 cm exophytic lesion in the proximal jejunum, which was completely resected. Histopathology confirmed an ectopic pancreas. Conclusions: This condition is an uncommon but potentially serious cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, as the definitive diagnosis is often delayed. Therefore, clinical suspicion is crucial for early diagnosis and timely treatment, involving a multidisciplinary team of specialists in gastroenterology, radiology, pathology, and general surgery. In this manuscript, we present one of the few reported cases of ectopic pancreas as the cause of mid-intestinal bleeding.
