Article Synopsis
- Solid and papillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPNP) is a rare tumor primarily affecting young women, characterized by its large size and favorable prognosis.
- A case study is presented involving a 34-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed with ductal carcinoma but, upon surgery for a 15 cm pancreatic tumor, was confirmed to have SPNP.
- The study emphasizes that even in older women, SPNP should be considered when a large abdominal mass is found, as surgical resection is the best treatment due to the tumor's low malignancy potential and excellent prognosis.
