Abstract

The solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas (SPT) is rare pancreatic tumor. There is a predilection for Asian and African-American women during the 2nd and 3rd decades of life. Clinical symptoms are usually slow-growing palpable mass, abdominal distension or incidentally discovered. Interestingly, diagnosis can be done with confidence by the classic imaging findings. In this report, we would like to present one case of young Thai female patient with the solid-cystic pancreatic mass demonstrating a well defined margin, internal hemorrhage and typical enhancing pattern.
