We report a case of ectopic pancreas tissue in the gastric wall that was removed using a minimally invasive approach. The patient was a 46-year-old obese woman who presented with fatigue, weakness, abdominal discomfort, and guaiac-positive stools. Laboratory analysis showed iron deficiency anemia. Preoperative endoscopy revealed a submucosal lesion in the gastric antrum. Intraoperative upper endoscopy clearly located the lesion at the antrum. The lesion was marked with India ink, allowing it to be identified easily at laparoscopy. A laparoscopic wedge resection of the gastric antrum was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery. We believe that this is a valid treatment option for this benign condition.
