Abstract
This is a report of the gray scale ultrasound findings of pancreatic carcinoma occurring in a child. Although this tumor is rare, the preoperative diagnosis can be made if the physician is aware of this possibility. 99mTc sulfur colloid radionuclide scan, liver spleen scan, gallium scan, and ultrasound examinations are helpful in distinguishing the site of origin of upper abdominal masses.Keywords
