A solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor with a low malignant potential. It typically occurs in young women. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm associated with extra-pancreatic and pancreatic anomalies are occasionally reported. We report a case of an solid pseudopapillary neoplasm with a concomitant variation of the common hepatic artery in a 43-year-old woman. T...

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 pancreaticoduod...

CONTEXT Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor more common in young girls and rare in males. CASE REPORT We present a case of a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in a 13-year-old boy, with typical imaging features. CONCLUSIONS Our case report specifically illustrates the potential of diffusion-weighted imaging findings on solid pseudopapillary tumor in pediatr...

A solid-pseudopapillary tumor is an uncommon and "enigmatic" pancreatic neoplasm, and the term encompasses the two most conspicuous histological features: solid and pseudopapillary areas. Grossly, it appears as a large solid, cystic or solid-cystic mass frequently having necrotic and hemorrhagic zones. Histologically, solid-pseudopapillary tumors are generally characterized by solid areas alter...

BACKGROUND Its considerable size at the time of diagnosis and low grade of malignancy are typical features of the solid-pseudopapillary tumor, which has a tendency to predominantly affect young females. A relationship to the long-term intake of oral contraceptives is discussed. Invasive tumor growth or metastases have been observed only rarely until now. METHODS The 53-yr-old female patient w...

CONTEXT Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor which usually affects young females in their second and third decade of life. Metastasis is very rare after a resection of curative intent. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 65-year-old white female who presented with metastasis to the liver four years after Whipple's resection for a solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancrea...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical, radiological and surgical features of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational study evaluating the multi-institutional clinical, radiological and surgical patients with a diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas undergoing surgical treatment. RESULTS We identified eight patients in t...

Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas constitutes a very rare benign or low-grade malignant lesion occurring most commonly in young women and girls. It was first described by Frantz. Local infiltration, distant metastasis and recurrence are very rare. Until today, the histogenetic origin of the tumor cell remains to be elucidated. In 1996, solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas was i...

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor that affects young females with low malignant potential and good prognosis with more than 90% survival at 5 years. Metastasis is very rare. We report the case of a 74-year-old female who had pancreatic solid-pseudopapillary tumor and synchronous hepatic metastasis.
