Papillary cystic and solid tumors of the pancreas: A pancreatic embryonic tumor? Studies of three cases and cumulative review of the world's literature

Solid pseudopapillary carcinoma of the pancreas: differentiation from benign solid pseudopapillary tumour using CT and MRI

“…2,4,5,17 Even in the event of metastasis, the lesions are slow-growing and are associated with long-term survival. 1,16,18 Considering the favourable outcome, most current recommendations support aggressive management, targeting complete resection of both the primary tumour and the metastatic lesions whenever possible. 6,16,19 Pancreatic duct dilation was present in four of eight SPC patients in the present study.…”

Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor: A Rare Neoplasm of the Pancreas with Excellent Outcome – A Case Report

“…This is also not clear that whether SPNs which is undergoing malignant transformation is growing larger or those SPNs with innate malignant potential tend to grow larger with more proportion of solid component. Many studies have showed that the most common site for metastasis is the liver and the omentum [7,8] and majority of such tumors are located at pancreatic body and tail. Nishihara et al have reported that venous invasion, degree of nuclear atypia, mitotic rate and presence of necrobiotic cell rests are helpful in determing the prognosis but Jaksic et al could not find these factors to correlate with the prognosis CONCLUSION SPN is a rare neoplasm of pancreas with low malignant potential.…”

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas Associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

“…In addition, only 10% of reported SPN patients are men (2). Most SPNs occur in the body or tail of the pancreas and form large tumors (average size, 10 cm) (8). SPN lesions usually display calcification and signs of degeneration, including hemorrhage and necrosis.…”
