Abstract- Neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors (NPTs) arise from the pancreaticislet cells and belong to the amine and precursor uptake anddecarboxylation (APUD) system. These tumors are rare and accountfor only 1% to 5% of pancreatic tumor. The pancreas is an extremelyuncommon site of neoplasia in children and adolescents. For this reason,our understanding of these tumors is still quite limited. Although thecomplete surgical resection is the key to successful management of allmalignant adolescence pancreatic tumors, the information on thepossible role of chemotherapy and radiation in recurrent, unresectable,or metastatic cases is purely anecdotal. The 17-year-old mantransferred to our hospital with abnormal ultrasonographic findings.Result of abdominal ultrasonographic examination showed a mass in theupper abdomen. He presented with 6months history of intermittentabdominal pain and vomiting and diarrhea. A computed tomography(CT) scan and magnetic resonance showed a 4.5 x 6 cm mass in thehead of the pancreas. An ultrasound-guided core biopsy confirmed anpancreatoblastoma or pancreas islet cell tumor. On operative findings,there was locally advanced, unresectable tumor within the pancreatichead. We report a 17-years-old man patient with non-functionalpanceratic islet cell carcinoma.
