Abstract:
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of pancreas is an uncommon low-grade malignant tumour that has a remarkable postoperative cure rate. Improved awareness and widespread use of imaging have resulted in more frequent diagnosis of these tumours. We report a case of a woman in her 20s who had an abdominal lump identified as a gastrointestinal stromal tumour on imaging elsewhere. The patient was reevaluated in our hospital and given a provisional diagnosis of SPN on radiology, which was later confirmed on postoperative histopathology.
