Abstract

Congenital pancreatic cysts are rare in the paediatric age group; they can be isolated or associated with other malformations. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to prevent complications. One and a half year old female presented with an abdominal mass. Surgical exploration revealed multiple cystic lesions occupying most of the abdominal and pelvic cavities originating from the pancreas. A complete surgical excision was done, and the histopathological examination confirmed the presence of islands of well-defined pancreatic tissue with scattered dilated ducts. True congenital pancreatic cysts are rare anomalies to occur, and there is female predominance for such conditions; early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
