Abstract
Heterotopic pancreas is normal pancreatic tissue that lacks anatomic and vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is a rare congenital anomaly found usually in the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum and is rarely seen in the esophagus. This is a case of heterotopic pancreas found in the esophagus that was removed thorascopically.
