Ectopic pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly; its early and precise diagnosis is complicated, which makes the description of the present case interesting. This is an 11- year-old boy who presented signs of acute renal insufficiency and was eventually diagnosed as having an acute abdomen. During the surgical procedure we found a tumoral mass in the antimesenteric border which pathology later showed was pancreatic tissue.
