  • 1. Sungkyunkwan Univ. College of Medicine, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon and known to occur mainly in middle-aged women. We present a case of pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in an 11-year-old girl who had a past history of blunt abdominal trauma. The tumor was initially mistaken for a traumatic pseudocyst. US and CT revealed a multiloculated cystic mass in the pancreatic tail. The mass showed good transmission on ultrasonography (US) and had an attenuation value of 10 HU on CT. Metastatic lesions in the liver were also shown on follow-up study
