Summary:1. 1. A retropancreatic teratoma was removed from an eighteen months old girl with resultant loss of biliary and pancreatic continuity. An immediate cholecystoduodenostomy and pancreatic ligation were performed. 2. 2. Steatorrhea developed, unresponsive to pancreatin and was treated seven weeks later by a caudal pancreaticojejunostomy. 3. 3. The child's health is improved twenty-four months later, but she requires pancreatin, which now controls her steatorrhea.
