background: information regarding solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (spn) of the pancreas is limited in iran. we aimed to review the clinicocytopathological features and follow-up of patients with spn of pancreas who were diagnosed in a single center in iran. methods: seven patients with spn of the pancreas were diagnosed during january 2010 to march 2015 at the digestive disease research institut...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are rare and occur most frequently in young women. They have an uncertain pathogenesis and unclear clinical behavior. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical presentation of solid pseudopapillary tumors and assess the efficacy of treatment with minimally invasive surgery. METHODS From March 1997 to February 2011, 13 of 273 pa...

CONTEXT Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are rare and have recently been shown to harbor mutations of the beta-catenin gene with resultant nuclear localization of beta-catenin protein to the nucleus. Moreover, there is a close relationship between beta-catenin and E-cadherin. OBJECTIVE To explore the protein expression of E-cadherin in a series of solid pseudopapillary tumors of t...

The solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare disease, although since 2000, it has been often identified. The current study aims to present a 10-case series of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas and a literature review on the topic. The cohort consisted of nine female patients and one male. The mean age in the group was 31.2 year-old. These patients underwent surgical...

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...

UNLABELLED Solid pseudopapillary tumour is a rare indolent neoplasm of the pancreas (< 2% of exocrine pancreatic tumours), which predominantly affects young women at reproductive age, without significant clinical symptoms. We report a case of a 20-year-old Caucasian female who presented with upper abdominal pain of one-year duration. Ultrasound scans of the abdomen demonstrated enlarged pancrea...

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. It has clinically good behavior, although large at the time of diagnosis. We report the case of a thirty-year-old woman with a giant mass in the pancreas, incidentally discovered during an abdominal ultrasonography. The mass was later ...

A solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas has distinct histopathological features. A solid pattern of growth with pseudopapillary structures that result from degeneration is observed. On rare occasions, the tumor may vary from being entirely solid to completely cystic. The present study describes two unique cases of SPN. A 25-year-old male presented with a pancreatic tumor showing ...

Solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare primary neoplasm of the pancreas that typically affects young women. It is a relatively a benign tumor, with a favorable prognosis. We here report a 27-year-old woman with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, who presented with mild jaundice, mildly elevated liver function tests and right upper quadrant pain. Ultrasound was suggestive of hemorrhagic hepatic aden...

BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (Frantz tumor) is a rare, low-grade malignant neoplasm. Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy is a good approach for tumors located in the pancreatic head. We present two successful cases in young women. CASE REPORT A 19-year-old woman was admitted to Department of Digestive Surgery due to epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomogr...
