Summary
Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) are rare pancreatic neoplasms. This case highlights a successful Whipple
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) are rare pancreatic neoplasms, comprising 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors.
- These tumors have uncertain histogenesis but exhibit low-grade malignant potential with rare metastasis.
- Diagnosis relies on pathological and/or cytological evaluation, with excellent post-surgical outcomes.
Observation:
- A case of solid pseudopapillary tumor was identified in the head of the pancreas.
- The patient was a 20-year-old female.
- The diagnosis was confirmed via pathological evaluation.
Findings:
- Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in a young female.
- Whipple's operation was performed as the definitive treatment.
- The patient was treated at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Implications:
- Early detection and surgical intervention are crucial for managing pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors.
- This case underscores the importance of pathological diagnosis in rare pancreatic neoplasms.
- Further research into SPT histogenesis may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

2.2K
The pancreas, an essential organ in the human body, is a pinkish-gray elongated structure located posterior to the stomach. It extends laterally from the duodenum towards the spleen and is firmly bound to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short...

02:37Metallic Solids
20.5K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

02:22Structures of Solids
17.6K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

01:16Cells and Secretions of the Pancreas
4.7K
The pancreas, a vital organ within the abdominal cavity, plays dual roles in the digestive and endocrine systems, collaborating with exocrine and endocrine cells to maintain optimal digestion and blood sugar levels.
Exocrine function is carried out by acinar cells, organized into clusters known as acini. These cells contribute to digestion by releasing substantial quantities of enzyme-rich, alkaline digestive juices.
Concurrently, the dispersed clusters of endocrine cells throughout the...

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

02:54Molecular and Ionic Solids

Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
