Abstract:
Solid and papillary epithelial (SPEN) is an uncommon pancreatic tumor often seen in young females. Although most of these neoplasms have a benign course, SPEN do have malignant potential. Treatment is surgical which is usually feasible either via enucleation or more radical procedures. Below we discuss diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in detail.
