Pancreaticoduodenectomy in 11-year-old male with a non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports(2023)
摘要
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare pancreatic neoplasms and are even more uncommon in the pediatric patients, thus leading to a lack of clinical research on diagnosis and management in this population. The purpose of this report is to review relevant literature and discuss a rare occurrence of a non-functioning pNET in a pediatric patient. This is a report of an 11-year-old male who presented with symptomatic anemia and was found to have a 6 cm mass near the pancreatic head with erosion into the duodenum. Surgical biopsy demonstrated a non-functioning pNET. He was successfully managed with complete surgical resection via a standard pancreaticoduodenectomy without evidence of recurrence after 1 year follow up. Further multi-institutional prospective studies or meta-analyses are warranted to further explore optimal management in the pediatric population.
