초록
We report the case of a 16-year-old boy with a solid pancreatic mass which proved to be a nonfunctioning, malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET). In pediatric patients, malignant pancreatic tumors are rare, especially malignant PNET. When dynamic contrast enhanced MRI showed a well enhancing solid pancreatic tumor on arterial and delayed phases and combined with malignant features, such as vascular invasion, invasion of adjascent organs, and lymphadenopathy, we should include malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in the differential diagnosis of childhood pancreatic tumors.
Abstract
We report the case of a 16-year-old boy with a solid pancreatic mass which proved to be a nonfunctioning, malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET). In pediatric patients, malignant pancreatic tumors are rare, especially malignant PNET. When dynamic contrast enhanced MRI showed a well enhancing solid pancreatic tumor on arterial and delayed phases and combined with malignant features, such as vascular invasion, invasion of adjascent organs, and lymphadenopathy, we should include malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in the differential diagnosis of childhood pancreatic tumors.
