A preoperative clinical diagnosis of the ectopic pancreas can be difficult. Due to its submucosal location, Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration is likely to aspirate this lesion. Ectopic pancreas can show nuclear atypia which needs differentiation from the acinic cell carcinoma. Authors of this paper have discussed the cytoogical features of the ectopic pancreas and how to differentiate them from the acinic cell carcinoma.
