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...

abstract objective : to report a case of pancreatic pseudo papillary solid cystic tumor, known as frantz tumor, which was discovered after a blunt abdominal trauma and to carry out a review of literature. case report : the patient was a 14-years old girl who came to the emergency room after blunt abdominal trauma with an intense abdominal pain. she underwent emergent laparotomy because of the p...

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm reported to have a favourable prognosis because of its slow-growing behaviour. Ignored and misdiagnosed in the past, SPN has recently been increasingly studied. Its clear cell variant creates challenges in distinction from other clear cell tumours in the pancreas. We report a 31-year-old Cambodian woman who presented with a...

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is considered a low-malignant neoplasm with a good prognosis. However, 5% to 15% of patients with SPNs develop metastatic disease, most commonly in the liver. Metastatic hepatic malignancies that show pseudocystic features are rare. Here we describe the case of a middle-aged female with a cystic liver metastasis from SPN. To the best of our k...

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma may account for more than 80% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Occasionally, other rare tumors such as lymphoma, metastatic tumor, and solid pseudopapillary neoplasm can be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of an 82-year-old man with a pancreatic solid mass. This case suggests that endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) w...

We report a rare case of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm in 24-year-old woman, who presented with progressively worsening left epigastric and right lower quadrant abdominal pain for several weeks. A CT scan showed mass the tail pancreas that extended to hilum spleen. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) immunohistochemical analysis exhibited findings pathognomonic neop...

CONTEXT A solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm which, for the most part, affects young women and has a relatively favorable prognosis with a low malignant potential. These tumors usually have unclear clinical features and may form very large masses before being diagnosed. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who underwent complete resection of the tu...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to summarize our experience with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas to provide a reference for the management of this rare condition. METHODS We collected and analyzed retrospective data on the clinical presentation, laboratory investigations, radiologic imaging, pathology and operative details of patients with S...
