  • Title: Pancreatic pseudotumor in an 11-year-old child: imaging findings.
    Author: McClain MB, Burton EM, Day DS.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2000 Sep; 30(9):610-3. PubMed ID: 11009298.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: An inflammatory pseudotumor is a benign, solid lesion of unclear etiology. Some authors believe it is a true neoplasm, while others consider it a post-infectious or post-traumatic process. It is most commonly found in the lung; an inflammatory pseudotumor of the pancreas is rare. This case report is the sixth of a pancreatic pseudotumor in a child. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An 11-year-old girl presented with obstructive jaundice due to a mass in the head of the pancreas. The mass was identified by sonography. This was confirmed by MRI and CT. The mass enhanced with gadolinium, but its enhancement at CT was similar to the remainder of the pancreas. RESULTS: At operation, a pancreatic inflammatory pseudotumor was totally resected.
