title: Cysts and tumors of the pancreas.
abstract: Both pancreatic cysts and pancreatic tumors rarely occur in childhood. However, when encountered they can present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the pediatric surgeon. The aim of this review is to discuss the different types of pancreatic cysts and tumours that may be encountered in the pediatric population, to note the modes available for their diagnosis, and to outline treatment options.
