Solid-pseudopapilläre Tumoren des Pankreas

Abstract: We report on three female patients with solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas. The histogenetic origin of this entity is still unclear. The tumor, usually occurring in young women, forms large masses (up to 10 cm in diameter) before becoming symptomatic. Metastases have very rarely been reported. In contrast to other pancreatic tumors, the main pancreatic duct was displaced, but of normal caliber without stenosis, in all our patients. Despite the large size of the tumors, they were curatively resected i… Show more

“…8 Generally speaking, there is no specific clinical syndrome for SPN of the pancreas, and the disease tends to be misdiagnosed, especially in male patients. In our study, the male patient received a misdiagnosis of chromaffin-cell tumour.…”

“…Capsular invasions have been described [3] and typically the preserved tumor tissue is found in the periphery, as shown here. Furthermore, tumors may infiltrate into both the sane pancreatic parenchyma and peripancreatic adipose tissue [19] . Therefore, resection according to oncological criteria should be preferred over "radical enucleation" [11] and/or local excision [20] .…”

“…Another hypothesis is that this tumor arises from pluripotent embryonic cells of the pancreas [12,14,15] or from ridges/ovarian anlage related cells, which were attached to the pancreatic tissue during early embryogenesis [16,17] . Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas has a tendency to predominantly affect young women aged between 25 and 35 years [4,8,14,[18][19][20][21][22] . Age is reported to range from 8 [15] to 70 years [3] .…”

“…Pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a very rare, benign pancreatic tumor, and surgical resection of the tumor is regarded as curative treatment [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. It has so far been reported mainly in adults and more often in women [1][2][3][4][5][6]10].…”
