Pancreatoblastoma is a rare tumor of the pancreas. It occurs mainly in childhood and has a relatively good prognosis.

Children with pancreatoblastoma rarely present with early-stage disease, instead, most present with locally advanced or metastatic disease. Common presenting symptoms include abdominal pain, emesis, and jaundice. A multidisciplinary approach including good clinical history, state of the art imaging, and careful pathology is often needed to establish the correct diagnosis^.
