J Cancer Res Ther. 2013 Jul-Sep;9(3):507-10. doi: 10.4103/0973-1482.119364.

Abstract

Solid pseudo-papillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor, well known for its predilection for young women. As the tumor has favorable prognosis, differentiating it from other pancreatic tumors with aggressive behavior is necessary. We present a rare case of SPT and review the literature about SPT cases published from India.
