Heterotopic pancreas
usually refers to the growth of pancreatic tissue outside the normal pancreas, and has no correlation with it. For heterotopic pancreas with small volume and no obvious growth increase, surgery can be performed without surgery. However, for heterotopic pancreas with large volume or rapid growth rate, surgery should be performed according to the doctor's advice to prevent pancreatitis and even cancer.
