Rev Med Liege 2025, 80(2),69-72Abstract : Ectopic pancreas (EP) and pancreas divisum are well-known anatomical abnormalities of the pancreas. Although pancreas divisum is the most common birth defect of the pancreas, EP is not such a rare anomaly. It is defined as the presence of pancreatic tissue outside the pancreas with no anatomical connection to the orthotopic pancreas. We present the case of a patient who combined these two anomalies that were discovered by chance with an abdominal CT scan.
