Resumen

Ectopic pancreas is an unusual finding, with an incidence below 0,5% of all reports worldwide. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman who went to the emergency (department) for abdominal pain and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The pathology report described pancreatic ectopic tissue in the gallbladder wall . This finding must be thoroughly evaluated because this tissue can suffer diseases such as pancreatitis, cystic (tumors) and malignant degeneration, and should be (considered) in the context of gallbladder (polyps) with digestive (symptomatology).
