Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is exceedingly rare in children. Here, we report the case of a nine-year-old boy diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) guidelines for adults with pancreatic cancer. Though the patient had multiple episodes of progression, the patient has remained alive with the disease 18 months after the initial diagnosis.
