Imaging features of primary malignant pancreatic tumors in children.

摘要

Most children with a pancreatic tumor present with a solid pseudopapillary tumor that is usually well marginated and has solid and cystic areas surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Pancreatoblastoma is more aggressive than solid pseudopapillary tumor. The imaging features are those of a large heterogeneous tumor. Ductal adenocarcinoma is rare in children and has a poor prognosis.
