Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is an unusual pancreatic neoplasm that is characterized by a mixture of solid and cystic components and a fibrous capsule. Recently, the tumorigenesis of SPT has been reported to be associated with gene mutations of beta-catenin, which is a molecule participating in the Wnt signaling pathway. Reported herein is the case of a 53-year-old woman with SPT. The tumor, approximately 3 cm in diameter in the pancreas body, had a clear margin and central calcification but had neither a cystic component nor fibrous capsule. Several lines of pathological findings in the surgically resected specimen indicated SPT: (i) pseudopapillary proliferation of eosinophilic polygonal cells with oval nuclei; (ii) positive expression of several marker molecules indicating differentiation into acinar and endocrine cells; and (iii) zymogen granule-like structures in the cytoplasm on electron microscopy. Further, the tumor cells had intense nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and an activating mutation, (34)Gly(GGA) to Arg(AGA), in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene, as previously reported in most SPT. These findings suggest that association of the beta-catenin phenotype with development of the rare phenotype of SPT, a non-cystic and unencapsulated tumor, is unlikely.
