Obstructive jaundice in a child with pancreatic hemangioma.
We report the case of a 2-year-old boy who presented with obstructive jaundice by pancreatic hemangioma. In this case, a minimal operation for obstructive jaundice without resection of the tumor was performed. Three years after the operation, the pancreatic hemangioma almost disappeared. We discuss treatment of the pancreatic hemangioma in children.
