Abstract
|
|
|
|
Solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas is an uncommon low-grade malignant tumor found predominantly in young females. It is rare in childhood. The origin of the tumor is probably from a multipotential stem cell of the pancreas. Neoplasm usually behave like a very low grade malignancy, so that complete removal is the treatment of choice for the tumor arising anywhere in the pancreas. We report a case of solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas in a 14 year -old girl who presented with intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal mass. CT scan shows a large, about 7×6 cm sized, well-marginated hypodense round mass in the head of the pancreas with some ill defined enhancing solid internal portion. She had taken complete excision of the pancereatic mass and Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy and histologically comfirmed solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas. A brief review of literature was made.
