Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor of low malignant potential. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss a case of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas occurring in a 17-year-old female. A 17-year-old girl presented with dull aching poorly localized left hypochondrial pain for two years, she had no clinical findings on physical examination. Ultrasound of the abdomen showed well-defined 9 cm * 7 cm heterogeneous lesion with cystic contents in the region of the tail of the pancreas. Computed tomography scan (CT scan) of the abdomen showed a mass of 8 cm * 7 cm in the region of the tail of the pancreas; that could be pancreatic mass, left suprarenal mass, or lymphoma. Resection of the mass and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas.
Pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare condition, which needs surgical intervention. Close follow up is necessary to early detection of the recurrence and metastasis.
胰腺实性假乳头状肿瘤是一种恶性潜能较低的罕见肿瘤。本文旨在呈现并讨论一例发生于一名17岁女性的胰腺实性假乳头状肿瘤病例。一名17岁女孩因左上腹隐痛、定位不清两年就诊,体格检查未发现临床异常。腹部超声显示胰腺尾部区域有一个边界清晰的9厘米×7厘米的异质性病变,内含囊性成分。腹部计算机断层扫描(CT扫描)显示胰腺尾部区域有一个8厘米×7厘米的肿块;可能是胰腺肿块、左肾上腺肿块或淋巴瘤。肿块切除及组织病理学检查确诊为胰腺假乳头状肿瘤。
胰腺假乳头状肿瘤是一种罕见疾病,需要手术干预。密切随访对于早期发现复发和转移很有必要。
