Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas: An Enigmatic Tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor that predominantly occurs in young non-Caucasian women. Although most tumors show benign behavior, malignant degeneration may occur. A case of solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumor in a Caucasian woman is presented that was investigated by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and EUS-guided fine needle aspiration. The patient underwent surgery and radiological findings are correlated with histopathology. The preoperative diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is challenging, frequently leading to imaging by multiple different modalities.

Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT) are rare tumors of the pancreas with low malignancy potential and a very good prognostic outcome after surgery. The outcome after radical resection is favourable. A case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas in a 20-year-old woman is presented. The patient underwent resection of the mass in the pancreatic head and pancreaticoduod...

Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas constitutes a very rare benign or low-grade malignant lesion occurring most commonly in young women and girls. It was first described by Frantz. Local infiltration, distant metastasis and recurrence are very rare. Until today, the histogenetic origin of the tumor cell remains to be elucidated. In 1996, solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas was i...
