Papillary cystic tumor of the pancreas.
A 10-year-old girl had fever, abdominal pain and a palpable mass at the left hypochondrium. She was found to have a pancreatic cystic tumour that was biopsied and removed by coeliotomy. The pathologic diagnosis was papillary cystic tumour of the pancreas with chronic pancreatitis. No pathological lesion was found elsewhere. 2 years later she is asymptomatic and without recurrence.
