Abstract
Solid pseudo-papillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP) are rare epithelial tumors. In most cases, they occur in young woman in the second or the third decades of life. Survival after primary resection is approximatively 90% at 5 years. We report the case of a 20-year old female patient with solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas detected given the onset of abdominal pain without laboratory tests' disturbances. CT scan, MRI and endoscopic ultrasound showed well-defined mass in the pancreatic isthmus. Complete tumor resection was performed. Anatomo-pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas. Solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas should be included in the differential diagnosis of any pancreatic mass, in particular among young women. Surgical resection is associated with a good prognosis.Entities:
