Abstract

We describe the sonography and computed tomography (CT) findings in three children with pancreatoblastoma and highlight the tendency of these tumors to invade the splenoportal axis. All three of our cases showed tumor thrombus within the portal vein which is a helpful diagnostic feature on imaging studies.

Keywords

pancreatoblastoma - computed tomography - portal vein invasion
