Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas -Raising Awareness of a Rare Tumor

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare clinical entity. One third of the patients are asymptomatic and the diagnostic is based on imaging studies (abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) and histological examination of biopsies obtained most frequently by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. In this article we made a short review of the literature and present the imaging and histological aspects found in our patients with SNP.
