Abstract

Six children with solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas were studied retrospectively. There were 2 boys and 4 girls. The mean age at operation was 11 years(range; 8-13years). Three patients had incidental abdominal mass, in two patients the mass was non-tender, in one patient the mass was tender. The minimum size of tumor was 6.5 × 6.0 cm and the maximum was 10.5 × 8.0 cm. Five tumors were located in the head of the pancreas, and the other one in the tail. Local invasion or metastasis was not noticed. Tumors were removed completely by performing the following operations: 3 pylorous preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, 2 Whipple's operation and 1 distal pancreatectomy. There was no mortality. The histologic findings were characteristic. There were no recurrences during a follow-up of 0.5 to 12 years (mean; 5.0 years).
