A Case Report on Hepatopancreatic Anomaly in Adult Cadaver: A Histomorphological Study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The pancreas is a soft, lobulated, and mixed gland. As the liver and pancreas develop together from the hepatopancreatic bud, it is common that congenital anomalies of liver and pancreas exist together. This study was done during routine practical dissection where a band of the tissue was found extending from the head of the pancreas to the root of the mesentery. On histological examination, the tissue was confirmed to be the pancreas. It is seen that the hepatic bud grows at the expense of the ventral pancreas. In the present study, we found an atrophied left lobe of the liver and an abnormally rare and large uncinate process of the pancreas.
