An 82-year-old woman with a history of dyspepsia, early satiety and an intra-abdominal mass, known for many years and thought to be a cyst, presented with jaundice. Physical examination revealed a right upper abdominal mass and scleral icterus. Abdominal computed tomography found a well demarcated, 15-cm mass of the pancreatic head, enhanced during the arterial phase of contrast medium, causing...

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 tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor seen in predominately young women and carries a low malignant potential. We discuss a patient, who presented to our high risk clinic, with a clinical history of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas, predating her pregnancy. The patient had undergone previous surgery and imaging which had excluded recurrence of disease; however, ...

The authors report the cases of two young female patients aged 17 and 27 years who underwent surgery for a rare tumor of the pancreas, Frantz's tumor or solid-cystic pseudopapillary tumor. Solid-cystic pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor, accounting for 2.7% of pancreatic exocrine tumors. About 90% of these tumors occur in young women and they can reach very large dimensions. ...

A solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPT) is alternatively called a 'Frantz tumor.' It was first named after its discoverer in year 1959. This has been previously designated as papillary epithelial neoplasm, low-grade and neoplasm pancreas. rare pancreatic neoplasm. typically affects young people female predilection. Its histogenesis rather debatable. Acinar, endocrine, ductal...

We report the case of a Caucasian woman, operated on for a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in 2009, who recurred 4 years later with multiple liver metastases requiring liver resection. This disease is infrequent, particularly among the Caucasian population, and metastatic evolution is very rare.

BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a distinctive pancreatic neoplasm with low metastatic potential. This study examines clinical differences and prognosis between male and female patients. METHODS The medical records of 34 consecutive patients with pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms between 1990 and 2006 were reviewed. Whenever feasible, organ-preserving oper...

INTRODUCTION Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is extremely rare in children; it usually occurs in young women between 18 and 35 years of age. It comprises less than 3% of pancreatic tumors. It is of low malignancy; however, it may be locally aggressive. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice and its prognosis is excellent. CASE PRESENTATION Two Caucasian girls, 15 and 12 yea...

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm(SPN) of the pancreas are rare tumors that occurs in young women. SPN can metastasizes 5–15% all cases and common site is liver. The management metastatic unclear. We report a case Laparoscopic Parenchymal Sparing Multiple Metastatectomy Combined with Left Lateral Segmentectomy for long term Hepatic Recurrence from Resected Pseudopapillary tumor Pancr...
