Najioullah D, Laachir G, Chat L. Cystic neuroendocrine tumor of pancreas in 14 years old child: A case report and review of literature. Edorium J Radiol 2021;7:100017R02DN2021.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Neuro-endocrine tumors of the pancreas are rare in children. They are even rarer in their cystic forms and lead to confusion with other pancreatic cysts, especially when it is not functional.
Case Report: We report the case of a 14-year-old girl, in whom radiological exploration for epigastralgia revealed a cyst of the head of the pancreas without repercussions on bile ducts, and which after surgery turned out to be a neuro-endocrine cystic tumor.
Conclusion: Although rare, neuro-endocrine tumor should be mentioned among the diagnoses of cystic mass of the pancreas in children.
Keywords: Child, Cystic, Neuro-endocrine tumor, Pancreas
