Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas: a Case Report and Literature of Review
Authors
Abstract:
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 pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) with jejunostomy tube placement. We focus on the clinical features, imaging, and histopathological characteristics of solid-pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas.

Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas is a rare neoplasm which occurs pre-dominantely in young females. This tumor generally is asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic and some imaging tests are useful for its diagnosis. We report a 17 years-old woman with dyspeptic symptoms submitted to an abdominal ultrasound (US), that revealed a hypoechogenic mass between the liver, right kidney and pancrea...

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is one of the rarest forms of pancreatic neoplasm. It was also known as Franz's tumor or Hamoudi tumor until WHO labeled it as solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) in 1996. It typically affects young non-Caucasian females in their second or third decade of life. Treatment involves complete excision of the tumor which results in complete cure in majori...

A 29-year-old woman presented with an abdominal mass existing for 10 years and abdominal pain for one year. Physical examination revealed an abdominal mass about 10 cm in diameter between the epigastrium and right upper quadrant. Abdominal ultrasonography and multi-slice computerized tomography showed a well-demarcated solid mass containing cystic and calcified areas (97-80 mm in diameter) loca...
full textSolid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas: a Case Report
Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas are considered to be a rare low-grade malignancy that mainly appears in young women. It accounts for less than 1% of all pancreatic neoplasms and is pathologically distinctive from other types of pancreatic cancers. Curative resection is the optimal choice for SPT and the 5-year survival rate of SPT is about 95%. Here we report a case of a youn...

Parathyroid hormone-related protein producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors have been infrequently reported. Herein, we report a case of an Iranian woman who had such a tumor during pregnancy, and gave birth to a female neonate with esophago-tracheal fistula and imperforated anus. Hypercalcemia was diagnosed at postpartum because of elevated serum calcium levels in the neonate and neurologic...
