Résumé
A 77-year-old man was referred for a PET/CT 18F-FDG after incidental discovery of a lobulated jejunal lesion during surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The lesion was not removed due to the risk of digestive perforation. PET/CT 18F-FDG did not show pathologic hypermetabolism. Subsequently, we decided to perform PET/CT 18F-DOPA to better characterize this incidentaloma. A moderate uptake was showed, less than the pancreas. After multidisciplinary discussion, taking into account macroscopic and imaging aspects, the hypothesis of an ectopic pancreas was retained, allowing the exclusion of surgical excision.
