Abstract

Pancreatic tumors in children are rare [1]. A 38-year retrospective single-institute study revealed only 14 patients with pseudopapillary neoplasms being the most frequent with 6 cases, followed by insulinoma (N = 3). There were two neoplastic tumors. Furthermore focal or diffuse hyperinsulinism in infancy may be encountered [2, 3].
