Abstract :
Heterotopic pancreatic tissue, known as pancreatic rest, is a pancreatic tissue that lacks
anatomic and vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. Common locations for
this tissue include the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, Meckel diverticulum, and ileum. In this
report, we present a case of a patient whose pancreatic rest was diagnosed primarily during
the investigation of dysphagia with solid foods and it was located in the mid esophagus as an
unusual location
