Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas, known as Frantz tumors, are rare pancreatic tumors that occur predominantly in women, with very few cases reported in men. We present the case of a 27-year-old female patient who came to the emergency room with an intense upper abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting and a palpable mass in the left upper quadrant. She was initially diagnosed with a post-traumatic pancreatic pseudocyst. The patient underwent distal pancreatectomy with splenic preservation; the histopathological report showed a pseudopapillary solid tumor of the pancreas without malignant cells. In this report, a case of rare solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is described. Our objective was to report an infrequent case of pancreatic pseudopapillary tumor and to carry out a review of the literature.
胰腺实性假乳头状瘤，又称弗兰茨瘤，是一种罕见的胰腺肿瘤，主要发生于女性，男性病例报道极少。我们报告一例27岁女性患者，因上腹部剧痛伴恶心、呕吐，左上腹可触及肿块而前来急诊室就诊。她最初被诊断为创伤后胰腺假性囊肿。患者接受了保留脾脏的胰腺远端切除术；组织病理学报告显示为胰腺实性假乳头状瘤，无恶性细胞。在本报告中，描述了一例罕见的胰腺实性假乳头状瘤病例。我们的目的是报告一例罕见的胰腺假性乳头状瘤病例并对文献进行综述。
