Abstract
|
|
|
Solid and papillary epithlial neoplasm of the pancreas is an uncommon low grade malignant tumor histologically distinct from usual ductal adenocarinoma, and ameable to cure by surgical excision. It tends to occur in young women in their second or
third
decade of life and has often been misclassified as a nonfunctional islet cell tumor or as cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma.
Sonongraphy and CT of solid and paillary epithelial neoplasms depict a well-demarcated mass that can be solid, mixed cystic and solid, or largely cystic. The radiologic appearance is dependent on the maintanance of the integrity of the neoplasm
versus
the extent of retrogressive changes that have occured. We present three cases of papillary-cystic neoplasm of the pancreas in young women aged 12, 25 and 34 years. They had large abdominal mass, found either incidentally or because of abdominal
pain and
discomfort. All patients were operated with good results.
