A rare pancreatic lipoma, a benign fatty tumor, was found incidentally in an asymptomatic 11-month-old child. This pediatric case highlights the importance of considering lipomas in abdominal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Pathology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Pancreatic lipomas are rare benign tumors, typically presenting in adults.
  • Asymptomatic presentation in infants is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • An 11-month-old child presented with an incidentally discovered abdominal mass during a grip episode.
  • Preoperative imaging revealed a well-defined, multilobed, encapsulated pancreatic neoformation.
  • The mass was located between the transverse colon, spleen, and stomach without local infiltration.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed a mature lipoma of the pancreas.
  • The tumor demonstrated classic benign fatty tissue characteristics.

  • Differential diagnosis included other pediatric fat-containing tumors.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of pancreatic lipoma presentation in pediatric patients.
    • It underscores the need for thorough histopathological evaluation of pancreatic masses in children.
    • Further research into the etiology and behavior of pediatric pancreatic lipomas is warranted.
