Introduction: Castleman's disease (CD) represents a rare polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by atypical lymph node hyperplasia, the precise etiology of which remains undefined. Pancreatic involvement of CD is particularly uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical features, making it difficult to distinguish from tumors with abundant blood supply such as solid pseudopapillary tumors and neuroendocrine tumors. Multimodal imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing pancreatic CD and determining the extent of lymph node involvement.

A 27-year-old woman underwent 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT for primary aldosteronism localization and characterization. No functional adrenal nodules were detected by 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT, whereas a hypodense nodule with focal pentixafor uptake was incidentally discovered in the head of pancreas. Retrospective analysis of contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a subtly enhancing nodule devoid of calcification in the pancreatic head.

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is an extremely rare, low-grade, malignant pancreatic tumour with an excellent prognosis. We describe a case of SPN causing obstructive jaundice in a young female, thus mimicking pancreatic adenocarcinoma clinically and radiologically.
Case Presentation: A 32-year-old female presented with abdominal pain for 12 h, icterus, and an epigastric mass measuring 3 × 3 cm.
