title: Benign metastatic islet cell tumour of the pancreas.
abstract: A nine-year-old girl was fortuitously found to have a symptomless metastatic islet cell tumour (apudoma) of the head of the pancreas, the first to be described in a child. The tumour has not changed in size over 3 years and the patient has shown normal growth and development. Initial chemotherapy had no effect.
