title: Papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas in the pediatric population.
abstract: Cancer of the pancreas is an uncommon entity in the pediatric population and there have been only three reports of what may be termed papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas. We recently treated a young patient with this tumor, and comparison with the previously reported cases suggests a specific histologic and clinical picture, preferred treatment approach, and likely prognosis.
