“…Rarely (5,6), pancreatic tumors disseminate in the peritoneal cavity or seed in the gastric wall via the biopsy needle tract after EUS-FNA (7)(8)(9)(10). Such seeding has been noted primarily in cases of adenocarcinomas (5,8,9,11) and has not been associated with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN), a rare and potentially malignant tumor of the pancreas (12)(13)(14). This is the first report of a case of tumor seeding in the gastric wall after EUS-FNA of pancreatic SPN (15).…”

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is widely used as a first-line procedure for the definitive diagnosis of pancreatic solid tumor. Adverse events associated with the EUS-FNA procedure include acute pancreatitis, bleeding, infection, and duodenal perforation. Rarely, pancreatic tumors disseminate in the peritoneal cavity or seed in the gastric wall via the biopsy needle tract after EUS-FNA. Such seeding has been noted primarily in cases of adenocarcinomas and has not been associated with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN), a rare and potentially malignant tumor of the pancreas. This is the first report of a case of tumor seeding in the gastric wall after EUS-FNA of pancreatic SPN.

“…In addition, a proportion of patients are incidentally diagnosed with SPT during work-up for hemorrhagic complications and peritonitis following abdominal trauma (5,7,8). However, spontaneous perforation of the tumor without a history of trauma has been reported (9). An increased use of radiological modalities has resulted in a 7-fold increase in the number of patients diagnosed with SPT since 2000 (3).…”

Abstract. Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a pathological entity rarely encountered in children. Despite its malignant characteristics, SPT has a favorable clinical prognosis. This tumor is more frequently observed in females and is commonly localized in the tail and body of the pancreas. This is the case report of a 9-year-old female patient who presented with severe abdominal pain of sudden onset and vomiting following blunt abdominal trauma. Upon physical examination, abdominal distension, tenderness and abdominal guarding were detected. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass sized 8x9x12 cm in the pancreas, with hemorrhagic-necrotic areas, and abundant intra-abdominal fluid. Intra-abdominal exploration confirmed the presence of an abundant amount of intraperitoneal hemorrhagic fluid. A mass was identified, originating from the body and the tail of the pancreas, adherent to the mesentery of the colon and the hilum of the spleen, which had ruptured in its inferolateral side. The tumor was extirpated together with the spleen and the involved parts of the pancreas. Histopathological examination demonstrated a solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreatic origin. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, clinically as well as metabolically.

“…This rare, commonly benign tumor usually occurs in young women in the 2 nd -3 rd decade of life, 85% of patients are under 30-years old [8,9,10], although very rare cases in children and men have been reported [4,11]. SPN is generally benign, slow-growing and less aggressive than that of many other pancreatic tumors, and its prognosis is better [12], although very rare forms of malignancy have been reported [13,14]. Then these tumors were more frequently observed in men [6].…”

The Frantz tumor (solid pseudopapillary neoplasm-SPN) is a rare, usually benign tumor of unclear etiology having a predilection for young women. This usually asymptomatic tumor may, however, be a cause of abdominal pain or discomfort. In our case, the mentioned tumor was a cause of abdominal pain in a 14-year-old, a so far healthy patient. Abdominal imaging-USG and computed tomography scan (CT) were performed showing a large mass in the left epi-and mesogastrium with primary location probably in the pancreas. A laparoscopic biopsy was performed and confirmed the initial diagnosis. A tumor along with the pancreatic tail were removed by laparotomy without complications. The case we described shows that a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm can be a rare cause of abdominal pain in pediatric patients.
