“…SPN associated with ADP is extremely rare, and can be misdiagnosed as a pseudocyst because of its cystic appearance and marked areas of necrosis [ [1] , [4] , [6] , [7] ]. Extensive hemorrhage and necrosis of SPN can mimic a pseudocyst of pancreas on gross examination [ [6] , [8] ]. Kumashiro et al [ 8 ] reported a case manifesting typical clinical and imaging features of SPN of pancreas, whereas pathologic diagnosis of pseudocyst without tumor cells in the cyst wall.…”

Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas (ADP) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Human pancreas is formed by ventral and dorsal endodermal buds of the foregut endoderm. The dorsal bud forms the upper part of the head, neck, body, and tail of the pancreas and the ventral bud generates most of the head and uncinate process. ADP is derived from the embryologic failure of the dorsal pancreatic bud to form the pancreatic body and tail. ADP can be related to some diseases and conditions such as pancreatitis, hypoglycemia, and rarely pancreatic tumors. The association between cystic lesions with ADP has previously been reported. Three cases of cystic lesions of the pancreas with ADP were diagnosed clinically based on the imaging features and without any past history of pancreatitis. However, the pathologic diagnosis of resected lesions confirmed pseudocysts without pathologic evidence of tumor. We report 3 cases of pancreatic pseudocysts associated with ADP

“…This has been useful in differentiating solid pseudopapillary tumors from common differentials such as pancreatic pseudocysts, non-functioning neuroendocrine tumors, and mucinous and serous cystadenomas, and carcinomas [3]. Abdominal ultrasonography also plays an important role in diagnosis; and mostly contributing to the incidental finding of these neoplasms, as a hypoechoic mass with mixed echogenicity [3,6], they may, however, appear more solid than cystic due to the presence of hemorrhagic and necrotic tissue [7].…”

“…Magnetic resonant imaging is, therefore, superior to CT scan; however, its usefulness is limited by its cost and availability. Abdominal ultrasound though cheap and readily available is the least reliable modality among the three modalities [3][4][5][6][7]. The usefulness of positron emission tomography in the pre-operative diagnosis of these tumors is being investigated [2].…”

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare indolent malignant tumor mostly found in young women in the second and third decades of life. Only about 3000 cases have been reported in English literature, with none in the West African region. Here, we report to the best of our knowledge, the first histologically confirmed case of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas in West Africa. A 29-year-old woman with a slow-growing left upper abdominal mass of 10 months. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scans revealed a cystic-solid mass arising from the tail of the pancreas. She underwent surgical excision of the mass, with post-operative histopathology findings in keeping with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas. This case report highlights the importance of improved abdominal imaging, histopathology and the need for increased awareness as a differential diagnosis of an intra-abdominal tumor, especially in young women.

“…Los tumores seudopapilares del páncreas se deben diferenciar de otras neoplasias del páncreas, ya que tienen características epidemiológicas, clínicas e histológicas distintivas 9 . Muestran predilección por mujeres adolescentes y adultas jóvenes, con lesiones típicas y, usualmente, un buen pronóstico con el tratamiento adecuado 10 . La edad media de presentación es de 24 años (11 a 69 años) y más del 90 % de los casos se presentan en mujeres 2,11 .…”

Tumor seudopapilar sólido del páncreas

Los tumores seudopapilares sólidos del páncreas representan del 1 al 2 % de las lesiones neoplásicas del páncreas exocrino. Descritos por primera vez por Frantz, han recibido múltiples denominaciones hasta su clasificación actual por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Carecen de un cuadro clínico típico y frecuentemente se diagnostican de manera incidental por estudios de imágenes de sección transversal, en los que se reconocen características clave para su diagnóstico, y se presentan especialmente en mujeres jóvenes y adolescentes. Actualmente, su tratamiento es fundamentalmente quirúrgico, prefiriéndose técnicas conservadoras, con excelentes resultados a largo plazo. Se reporta el caso de una mujer joven con síntomas abdominales inespecíficos, a quien después de tratamientos previos para otras posibles enfermedades, se le practicó una tomografía computarizada de abdomen en la cual se documentó una lesión de características típicas de este tipo de tumor; fue sometida a pancreatectomía distal y esplenectomía laparoscópicas, con confirmación histológica de la neoplasia y sin necesidad de tratamiento adicional posterior
