PURPOSE: To investigate the computed tomography (CT) features of heterotopic pancreas of the jejunum (HPJ) and to assess their associations with HPJ pathology features.
METHODS: In this retrospective series analysis, two radiologists reviewed the CT images of 17 patients with surgically proven HPJ in order to determine in consensus the location, long diameter, margin, shape, contour, and growth pattern of the lesions, the presence of a duct-like structure, the lesion enhancement patterns, including the homogeneity, and the degree of contrast enhancement compared with that of the main pancreas. The pathology features of the surgical specimens were reviewed and their associations with the CT features were assessed.
RESULTS: On CT, the HPJs typically appeared as a small (<3 cm), well-defined, ovoid or flat-shaped mass in the proximal jejunum with multiple and tiny lobulations. The growth pattern varied and the duct-like structure was rarely visible. The HPJs mostly appeared to be homogeneous and exhibited hyper- or isoattenuation compared to the main pancreas in the arterial and portal phases. However, these enhancement patterns varied slightly depending on the microscopic composition of the lesions (i.e., acinar vs. ductal predominance). Most HPJs comprised histologically of large acini, some ducts, and small islet cells, and had ductal communication with the jejunum.
CONCLUSIONS: HPJs typically manifested as small, well-defined, ovoid or flat-shaped, homogeneous, and well-enhancing masses with a microlobulated contour in the proximal jejunum on CT, and their enhancement patterns associated with their microscopic composition. The pathology features of HPJs generally mimic those of the normal pancreas.
