Abstract
We present a case of a 13-year-old boy with a left-sided abdominal mass whi ch proved to be a papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. This low-grade malignant lesion of young patients is very rare, and exceedingly rare in m ales. The prognosis following resection of this tumor is good. We present t he ultrasound and computed tomographic picture of this lesion as well as th e gross and microscopic pathology.
