Abstract
Islet cell tumors in children are briefly reviewed. Three of the total of 53 children reported in the literature are described in detail. Special emphasis is directed to localization of the tumor by angiography. The difficulties of localizing the tumor in neonates is discussed. Treatment consists in excision of the insulinoma or, if it is not possible to localize the tumor, in subtotal or total pancreatectomy.Entities:
