Ectopic Anterior Mediastinal Pancreas: An Unusual Case of New Onset Hemoptysis

Ectopic pancreas within the anterior mediastinum is a rare congenital anomaly. We present a case of a solid anterior mediastinal mass that presented with hemoptysis and ground glass parenchymal changes in the right upper lobe. Robotic surgical resection was completed, and final pathology was consistent with benign pancreatic tissue. The patient fully recovered with no recurrence of hemoptysis. Ectopic pancreas, although uncommon, should be included in the differential for solid and cystic anterior mediastinal masses, and surgical resection is often curative and effectively manages symptoms.
