A solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas

Solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm which, for the most part, affects young women and has a relatively favourable prognosis with low malignant potential. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with a pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid, cystic mass in the pancreas. She was successfully treated with a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. The SPT is an infrequent tumour, typically affecting young women. Surgical resection is generally curative, even in locally advanced or metastatic disease
