Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare neoplasm. Very rarely, it may arise from an ectopic site. Solid pseudopapillary tumor occurring in the root of mesentery has not been described in the literature. This report summarizes a case of an adult male having the tumor arising from the mesenteric root. He underwent complete resection of the tumor followed by six cycles of adjuvant chemoth...

INTRODUCTION Solid and cystic pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor of the pancreas, for the first time described by Frantz et al. in 1959. The majority of patients are young females and most of them are asymptomatic. CASE OUTLINE We report a case of 25-year old woman who was admitted to our institution with abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the left hypochondrial area. US...

INTRODUCTION Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm that has been reported to account for between 0.17% and 2.7% of all non-endocrine tumors of the pancreas. It is usually seen in young women. Because solid pseudopapillary neoplasms are rarely aggressive and have low-grade malignant potential and an excellent prognosis after complete resection, it is an ideal pancreat...

CONTEXT Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm, predominantly observed in young women and with greatest incidence in the second and third decade. Although large at the time of diagnosis, it has clinically good behavior. The occurrence of infiltrating varieties of solid pseudopapillary tumors is very rare. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 48-year-old man with a giant...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has been described for more than a decade now and has been considered technically feasible, safe, and with reproducible outcomes. It seems to exhibit several benefits of minimally invasive surgery and should be performed in carefully selected patients. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 55-year-old Greek woman with a solid pseudopapillary...

Context Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas are extremely rare, accounting for 1-2% of primary pancreatic exocrine tumors and typically occur in women around the second or third decade of life. Tumors occurring in males are exceptionally uncommon. Case report We report herein a case of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm occurring in the pancreatic head in a forty-seven-year-old Hispanic...

CONTEXT Solid-pseudopapillary tumors are exceedingly rare in males. They are almost exclusively encountered in young females (mean age 26 years) and have a female predominance. It is most commonly detected incidentally, but may occasionally present with sudden pain or symptoms related to compression of adjacent organs. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 12-year-old boy having a solid-pseudop...

We present ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings in a case with pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor and their correlations with histopathology. Ultrasound revealed a hypoechogenic mass, and computed tomography revealed a hypodense mass at the pancreatic head minimally enhanced after intravenous contrast agent administration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed...

CONTEXT Solid-cystic pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor, but has favorable prognosis even in the presence of distant metastases. It is often associated with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. CASE REPORTS Described are two cases of solid-cystic pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas managed in our hospital between January 2000 and January 2010. One female and one male wi...

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic neoplasm that typically occurs in young females. As a low-grade malignancy, the tumor seldom recurs and metastasizes. Management of liver metastasis from such a tumor remains unclear. We present a case of a young girl with liver metastasis due to solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. She was admitted with chief complaints o...
