Solid-cystic papillary tumor of the pancreas: A missed diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solid-cystic papillary tumor (SCPT) of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm mainly affecting young women. The clinical presentation is usually nonspecific. A common problem encountered is misdiagnosis of the tumor on imaging. We report two patients with SCPT of the pancreas diagnosed incorrectly on preoperative imaging. Any cystic lesion of the pancreas with solid elements on radiology should raise the suspicion of this diagnosis. Considered to be a tumor of low malignant potential, surgical resection is associated with excellent prognosis. Surgery may be conservative in localized tumors and aggressive if nonlocalized.
