Objective To explore the CT features of ectopic pancreas (EP) in abdomen. Methods Non-enhanced CT and enhanced CT of 7 patients with ectopic pancreas in abdomen confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and summarized. Results All patiens had a single lesion; five occurred in the stomach, including the gastric antrum lesser curvature (n=4) and greater curvature (n=1), one were in the descending duodenum ,and one occurred in the mesentery. Five cases appeared ovoid shape, and two cases lobulated shape, nodular. There was fat tissue arround one lesion in the gastric antrum. Six cases showed density and enhancement similar to those of normal pancreas. One case with acute pancreatitis showed density and enhancement significantly lower than that of the normal pancrea. Conclusion Non-enhanced CT and enhanced CT provide useful information about the location, size, shape, density, enhancement patter of ectopic pancreas in abdomen, and were important in the diagnosis of EP.
