الملخص EN

Pancreatic neoplasms in children are rare.

Herein is reported the case of a four-year-old girl whose mother was exposed to radiation at Chernobyl that presented with obstructive jaundice and a mass suspected on CT and diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA).

This child is probably the youngest case of application of linear EUS with biopsy to be described.

The diagnosis, management, and followup of children with this rare tumor are discussed.
