In infants and children, pancreatic neoplasms occur uncommonly. Histologically, these tumors can resemble pancreatic embryonic elements or more well-differentiated pancreatic structures, in a subset the cellular origin can’t be delineated. This review discusses three of the most classic pediatric pancreatic neoplasms: pancreatoblastoma, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms and pancreatic endocrine n...

Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is a rare pancreatic tumor with low malignancy, constituting 1-2% of exocrine pancreatic tumors, occurring mostly in young women. SPT, despite the achievement of large size gives scant clinical symptoms. The authors present the case of 39-year-old woman with SPT, diagnosed at intraoperative biopsy. The aim of this study is to describe the clinicopathological fe...

The solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare but low-grade malignant tumor with a good prognosis after surgical excision. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a minimally invasive, safe and reliable way of diagnosing SPT by providing characteristic cytological and immunochemical specimens. Definitive preoperative diagnosis leads to targeted and m...

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) are rare tumours of the pancreas. Distant metastases and/or local recurrence following surgical resection occur in 10% to 15% of patients with SPN. In the present study, we aimed to systematically examine the usefulness of virtually all histopathological features of SPN which were previously considered potential risk factors of clinically aggressive behavio...

The purpose of this article is to highlight the imaging features of cystic pancreatic tumors. Common cystic pancreatic tumors include serous microcystic adenomas, mucinous cystic tumors, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and solid pseudopapillary tumors. These tumors have characteristic imaging features, especially on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR cholangiopancreaticography exa...

ysgerminoma is one of the two most common types of ovarian germ cell tumors. Providing accurate pathologic diagnosis and treatment planning, the prognosis is good even in advanced stages. Pathologic diagnosis is generally straightforward. In microscopic examination, the usual known growth patterns in tumor cells are solid, trabecular, insular and rarely pseudoglandular. In this paper, we ...

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare entity, more frequent in women between 2nd and 4th decades. The diagnosis usually incidental it can be reached by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Subsequent pathological confirmation necessary for an adequate treatment. A retrospective study six cases was carried out. All patients were female, 14 56 years age, which 50% fi...

A solid pseudopapillary neoplasm is a rare pancreatic tumor accounting for 1-2% of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms. It is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. It is mainly seen in young women between the second and third decades of life. Although it usually has a large size at the time of diagnosis, it is considered to have low malignant potential. Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs)...

Background. Solid Pseudopapillary Tumours of the pancreas are a rare entity and more commonly seen in women than in men. These tumours have typically reached large sizes when clinically detected. Case Description. A 21-year-old male was found to have a left hypochondrial mass on physical examination following a trivial soft tissue injury. Contrast-enhanced computed topography (CT) of the abdome...
