Abstract:
Pancreatoblastoma is a rare pediatric neoplasm with distinct acinar and squamoid differentiation that generally affects infants and young children. Although the prognosis is relatively favorable over typical pancreatic cancer, the optimal treatment of pancreatoblastoma has not been established. We experienced two cases of pancreatoblastoma in a 2-year-old girl and boy which was found incidentally by the parents due to the detection of abdominal masses.
