[A rare tumour of the right hypochondrium in the child (author's transl)].
Pancreatic pathology in the child is rare and usually limited to necrotic or traumatic pseudo-cysts. The authors report a case of multicystic dysplasis localised in the pancreas in a one-year old infant. The preoperative diagnosis of a traumatic cyst was made in error as the result of the discovery of a fracture of the skull. At operation, the "tumour" was seen to be a multicystic mass within the duodenal loop but pediculated under the inferior surface of the pancreas. Histological examination confirmed its dysplasic nature. The presence, as a result of vascular compression, together with the post-operative resolution of hypertension lend further originality to this case.
