Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas. Case report and review of the literature.

Unlabelled: Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) are classified among the rare malignant tumors but they usually appear as slowly growing and low-grade malignancy and also occur in children and adolescents. They are mostly detected incidentally, but may occasionally present with sudden pain or symptoms of compression of adjacent structures. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl having an SPT of the exocrine pancreas presenting with an upper abdominal mass following a slight trauma at the dancing school.
