VITTORE, Blas Gastón; AUDISIO, Héctor Jorge y LABAT, Eduardo Juan. Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas: case report. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2010, vol.74, n.1, pp.59-62. ISSN 1852-9992.
The solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare disease, accounting for only 1-2% of pancreatic cystic tumors. We report on a 13-year-old female patient who complained of abdominal pain. An ultrasound was performed, which revealed a heterogeneous pancreatic mass, which was further analyzed with computed tomography (CT). The spleen and pancreas tail were surgically removed. The pathology report described the existence of a solid cystic tumor of the pancreas. In order to make a proper differential diagnosis between this lesion and other pancreatic tumors, a literature review was carried out. We further analyzed the contribution of different imaging methods to the excised tumors, which presented diverse characteristics and behaviors.
