Abstract
Abstract: Obstructive jaundice in older children can be associated with multipl primary and secondary diseases. As a rare entity, pancreatic neoplasms may lead to biliary obstruction in pediatric population. Here, a case of a 15 year-old boy presented with jaundice was evaluated and discussed. In the presence of a jaundice in childhood, pancreatic mass should be included in the differential diagnosis particularly pancreatic metastases from rhabdomyosarcoma should be kept in mind. In diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma careful and active evaluation of pancreas should be performed. Keywords: jaundice, pancreas, metastasis, rhabdomyosarcoma
