Pancreatoblastoma

A rare malignant epithelial pancreatic neoplasm, most often found in children, which usually presents with the non-specific symptoms of a palpable mass, vomiting abdominal pain, jaundice, and weight loss/failure to thrive, and is characterized histologically by multiple lines of differentiation (acinar, ductal, mesenchymal, neuroendocrine) and the presence of squamoid nests.

Jaundice

Yellow pigmentation of the skin due to bilirubin, which in turn is the result of increased bilirubin concentration in the bloodstream.
