A CASE OF SOLID PSEUDOPAPILLARY TUMOR OF THE PANCREAS

APARNA .

Abstract


Abstract : Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is
considered to be a rare pancreatic tumor. These tumors are
typically present in women in their third decade of life with low
malignant potential. We report a case of 42-year-old female
who presented with intermittent abdominal pain of 3 months
duration. Ultrasound and CECT showed mixed solid and
cystic lesion of the body of pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy
with splenectomy was done as a definitive treatment. The
HPE was reported as SOLID PSEUDOPAPILLARY
TUMOR. The case is presented for its rarity the importance of
accurate diagnosis and treatment is emphasized.
