This report describes a rare foregut malformation of a noncontiguous gastric duplication cyst embedded within the body and tail of the pancreas. An 8-month-old boy presented with massive malena of 3 days' duration. The laparotomy showed an intrapancreatic cyst with bleeding and ulcer perforation into a loop of adherent jejunum. Histologically, the cyst contained gastric mucosa. This is believed to be the first reported instance of an intrapancreatic gastric duplication causing massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding in an infant.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
