Abstract

The case of an 8-year-old girl with pancreatic papillary cystic tumor is described. The patient presented chronic abdominal pain as the sole symptom. Abdominal ultrasound showed a pancreatic mass; computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) evidenced tumoral location in pancreatic body and tail, which was surgically removed. Histological report concluded a solid cystic pancreatic epithelial papillary neoplasm. After 6 months, the patient is asymptomatic and the CT is normal.
