Sumario:Pancreatoblastoma (PB) is a rare pancreatic neoplasm which arises when a group of pancreatic cells start to go through uncontrollable growth. The diagnosis of PB is challenging due to its vague symptoms. The initial diagnosis is made by imaging, afterwards the management is usually by resection of the tumor with or without chemotherapy which depends on the size and grade of the tumor. We report a case of a nine-year-old girl who was diagnosed with pancreotoblastoma and underwent complete resection with chemotherapy.
