A case of pancreatoblastoma arising from the body-to-tail of the pancreas in a 5-year-old boy is presented. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and, 11 days later, resection of the tumor (partial pancreatectomy, pyloroplasty, and splenectomy). Before resection, cyclophosphamide and vincristine were administered. Because of tumor spillage during resection, a combination of chemotherapy (administration of cyclophosphamide and adriamycin on that day) and postoperative radiotherapy was given. Nine months after resection, partial hepatectomy was performed for liver metastasis and consolidated by a more intensive chemotherapy regimen using cisplatin, adriamycin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide. After completion of the chemotherapy, the patient had a 14-month uneventful course, and a locally recurrent tumor was treated by the fourth surgery (extirpation of the recurrent tumor, partial hepatectomy, partial colectomy, and partial gastrectomy) and intraoperative radiation. Thereafter, the boy has shown no evidence of disease at 3 years 8 months. The literature of pancreatoblastoma is reviewed from the therapeutic viewpoint.
