Abstract

A 3 day old infant with persistent severe hypoglycemia was found to have a cystic pancreatic tumor. Cessation of glucose infusion led to severe hypoglycemia. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed and revealed an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) with high-grade dysplasia. Sequencing of the IPMN revealed a KRAS gene mutation not present in surrounding normal tissues. Deep sequencing of the patient's blood for KRAS mutations showed no evidence of mosaicism. Whole exome sequencing of the blood of the patient and both parents revealed a de novo germline SKIL mutation in the child that was not present in either parent. This suggests a possible role for SKIL in the pathogenesis of pancreatic tumors.
