Abstract
Papillary-cystic neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare, nonfunctioning lo w-grade malignant tumor seen in young patients, most often female. Ult rasound and CT show a circumscribed, solid nonhomogeneous mass with cy stic areas, with peripheral but not central enhancement and occasional calcification. Prognosis after excision is usually excellent. We desc ribe a case of the papillary-cystic neoplasm of the pancreas in a 13-y ear-old girl to illustrate the radiological findings.
