A solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a very rare tumor of unclear histogenesis. Its frequency is 1–2% of the total number of exocrine tumors and about 5% of cystic tumors of the pancreas. Only 130 mainly publications related to separate clinical observations of this pathology are available in medical literature. We found no works describing the complicated course of a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in children. The article describes a clinical case with a probable complicated, life threatening course of a solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumor in children due to peptic erosion of tissues and vessels with capsular rapture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
