Abstract
We present an the case of an eight-year-old Portuguese boy with no history of traveling, admitted with non-specific abdominal pain. An analytic study revealed high levels of lipase and amylase. Ultrasound, abdominal computerized tomography (CT), and an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were performed. The imaging findings are suggestive of a pancreatic tumor which is an extremely rare entity in children. A biopsy was performed by opened surgery and identified a Burkitt lymphoma.
