– 11 year old, MN DLH presented with lethargy and v/d
– had a dental procedure a couple of weeks ago in which pre-op bloodwork was wnl
– bloodwork now shows moderate anemia, neutropenia and severely elevated lipase (fPLI and viral testing not done)
– a mass that appears to be attached to the right pancreatic limb was detected on ultrasound with an irregular cystic region
– FNA’s of the cystic fluid and the mass are pending
– LN’s in the region were slightly enlarged and there is some mild hyperechoic fat around the region

So – chronic active pancreatitis with pseudocyst formation or abscess (fluid was not purulent), neoplasia – what do you think?

As the mass appears to be
As the mass appears to be infiltrating the pancreas, I would go for neopalsia with cystic formation rather than pancreatitis. See what the FNA shows.

I agree with Remo panc
I agree with Remo panc carcinoma with cysts but also rarely benign adenoma will look like this abd may need a core bx of the parenchymal portion. Also drain and culture the cyst in case the parenchyma just come back necrosis.
Ddx neoplasia, necrosis, adenoma
Man I love this app I’m posting from lol!!!
