Abstract

A case of annular pancreas found in a 45 year man was successfully treated by surgical resection. An histological and immunohistochemical study of the endocrine component within the resected annular tissue showed its identity with that of the postero-inferior head in the normal adult pancreas, both tissues being characterized by very high PP cell content, extremely few A cells and irregularly shaped islets. This observation supports a common origin of the two tissues from the ventral pancreatic primordium.
