Pancreatic pathology in the child is rare and usually limited to necrotic or traumatic pseudo-cysts. The authors report a case of multicystic dysplasis localised in the pancreas in a one-year old infant. The preoperative diagnosis of a traumatic cyst was made in error as the result of the discovery of a fracture of the skull. At operation, the "tumour" was seen to be a multicystic mass within the duodenal loop but pediculated under the inferior surface of the pancreas. Histological examination confirmed its dysplasic nature. The presence, as a result of vascular compression, together with the post-operative resolution of hypertension lend further originality to this case.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010181 Pancreatic Cyst A true cyst of the PANCREAS, distinguished from the much more common PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST by possessing a lining of mucous EPITHELIUM. Pancreatic cysts are categorized as congenital, retention, neoplastic, parasitic, enterogenous, or dermoid. Congenital cysts occur more frequently as solitary cysts but may be multiple. Retention cysts are gross enlargements of PANCREATIC DUCTS secondary to ductal obstruction. (From Bockus Gastroenterology, 4th ed, p4145) Cyst, Pancreatic,Cysts, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Cysts
