Abstract:
Solid and papillary epithelial tumor of the pancreas occurs mainly in young women and its main characteristic is the appearance of an abdominal mass which progressively increases in size. The radiologic, surgical and pathological correlation shows that it is a tumor of low grade malignancy with a favorable prognosis, after therapy and according to the location of the tumor. The authors report the clinical history of the first two confirmed cases of this entity in Panama, which occurred in 1985 and 1992, respectively, in women less than 25 years of age.
