Abstract

We report a cases of solid and papillary neoplasm of the pancreas, which is a rare pancreatic tumor. We described clinical characteristics, sonographic, computed tomographic and pathologic finding. The tumors had a smooth, enhanced capsule and variable internal architecture. The tumor was distributed tail of pancreas without local invasion. 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 pancrease. This unusual tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a young female with a pancreatic mass.
