“…With complete resection, five-year survival rate is as high as 97% even with metastatic disease [11,12]. Interestingly, this is the second case in the literature of pseudopapillary pancreatic tumor presenting in association with sarcoidosis [13].…”

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease that is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas, predominantly involving the lung and lymph nodes. Over the years, sarcoidosis has been associated with a high risk of malignancy. Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is an uncommon pancreatic tumor with a 15% malignant potential. Ours is an interesting case of a 34-year-old patient who was found to have a pancreatic mass and incidental mediastinal lymphadenopathy on imaging, initially raising concern for metastatic pancreatic cancer. However, she was later diagnosed to have an isolated solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in association with concurrent sarcoidosis.

“…More ominous diagnoses such as adenocarcinoma must be ruled out since symptoms may be nonspecific and mimic cancer, and pancreatic sarcoidosis can present concomitantly with pancreatic cancer [ 10 ]. Furthermore, sarcoidosis that does not involve the pancreas can co-present with primary tumors of the pancreas, including neuroendocrine tumors [ 8 ] and pseudopapillary tumors [ 11 ].…”

Highlights Involvement of the pancreas is exceedingly rare in sarcoidosis. Pancreatitis in a patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis can be secondary to a sarcoid inflammatory process. Pancreatic sarcoidosis can be discovered incidentally on radiography and may mimic neoplasia. Pancreatic sarcoidosis can be found concomitantly with more than one type of neoplastic lesion. Histopathologic assessment is required for definitive diagnosis.

Objective Current literature indicates a connection between sarcoidosis and malignancy, prompting advanced screening in uncertain cases. Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas are rare entities that can be confirmed by adding imaging results to immunohistochemistry staining. The aim of this article is to describe a rare association of sarcoidosis and SPT. Materials and methods Case report. Results A young female patient with no prior medical history presents with shortness of breath and fatigue. The diagnosis of pulmonary and hepatic sarcoidosis is placed upon laboratory and radiographic changes. Intermittent abdominal pain prompts an MRI that shows the presence of a tumoral mass in the tail of the pancreas. Surgical resection of the mass is performed and histological examination indicates a SPT, subsequently confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Conclusion This is the third reported case of concomitant sarcoidosis and solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas.
