Abstract

We describe a rare case of pancreatic inflammatory pseudotumour that clinically presented as a malignant tumour in an 11-year-old boy. We also review all six previously described cases, including three that occurred in children. Complete surgical removal is regarded as the best choice of therapy, and follow-up in our case showed no evidence of disease after 3 years. It is important to be aware of this lesion, since it can be confused with a malignant tumour both radiologically and clinically.
