Abstract

The characteristics of jejunal ectopic pancreas in dynamic gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging are described in a 40-year-old man with bowel obstruction. The pre-contrast signal intensity and post-contrast enhancement pattern of ectopic pancreas are the same as those of the pancreas.
