Pancreatoblastoma is an extremely rare tumor in children, especially under 3 months of age. This tumor may arise from any portion of the pancreas, but in more rare cases the ectopic pancreas is the origin. We are reporting a 3-month-old boy who was presented with an abdominal mass. Computed tomography images revealed a huge lobulated mass anterior to the kidneys, with internal calcification and enhancement after intravenous contrast media injection. He underwent a complete surgical resection of the mass that was located in the transverse mesocolon without any connection with the pancreas. Pathologic studies specified that the disease was pancreatoblastoma. His parents refused any chemotherapeutic regimen but continued postsurgical follow-ups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
