Abstract:

Solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas is rarely seen among the pediatric age group. Common presenting complaints are abdominal discomfort and abdominal pain. This is the case of a 9-year-old girl with vague abdominal pain and works up done for evaluation of pain revealed pseudo papillary tumor of the head of pancreas. Patient underwent a pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for removal of the mass. She made unremarkable post-operative recovery and was discharged 1 week
after the procedure. Pancreatic resection, depending on the location of the solid pseudo-papillary tumor, is the mainstay of management as there is a low but well defined risk of malignancy. Early diagnosis of pseudo- papillary tumor of the pancreas in pediatric age group with abdominal pain can bring significant improvement in the patient management and outcome.
