Abstract

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumor (Frantz’s Tumor) is a low-grade malignancy, that lacks clinical symptomatology. It was treatable with a favorable prognosis. Case presentation: A young female patient presented with increasing abdominal pain three years ago. Abdominal examination revealed a lump palpable. Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography abdomen reported a solid mass measuring 13.9 cm x 13.2 cm x 8.9 cm from the pancreas with an enhancing cystic component. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy yielded a cellular sample comprising pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas. A distal pancreatectomy was performed; she was discharged in satisfactory condition. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary team improves treatment accuracy and effective management. Prognosis over 95 % cure rate, so it is important to distinguish it from other pancreatic neoplasms.
