Abstract

Introduction

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare form of cancer with low malignant potential, accounting for 0.17–2.7% of all pancreatic tumours.

Case report 1

A 17-year-old female patient who presented with symptoms six months after a Caesarean section. She was referred to our institution for a 10 cm × 10 cm tumour in the upper right quadrant. Abdominal computed tomography showed a mixed mass at the head of the pancreas compatible with Frantz's tumour. Underwent surgery, in which the classic Whipple procedure was performed.

Case report 2

A 17-year-old female patient with a history of blunt abdominal trauma days before admission. Abdominal computed tomography showed a 10.6 cm × 10 cm heterogeneous and septate tumour at the head of the pancreas; preoperative diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm. Underwent surgery, in which the pylorus-preserving Whipple procedure was performed.

Conclusion

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare tumour of unknown origin and with good prognosis after surgical resection.

弗朗茨的肿瘤。两名青少年有不寻常的表现

胰腺实性假乳头状肿瘤是一种罕见的低恶性潜能肿瘤，占所有胰腺肿瘤的0.17-2.7%。病例报告1例17岁女性患者剖宫产术后6个月出现症状。她因右上象限一个10厘米× 10厘米的肿瘤被转介到我们的机构。腹部计算机断层扫描显示胰腺头部有一个混合肿块，与Frantz肿瘤相符。接受了手术，其中进行了经典的惠普尔手术。病例报告2A例17岁女性患者，入院前数日有钝性腹部外伤史。腹部计算机断层扫描显示胰腺头部一个10.6 cm × 10 cm的非均匀分隔瘤;实性假乳头状瘤的术前诊断。行保幽门惠普尔手术。结论胰腺实性假乳头状瘤是一种来源不明的罕见肿瘤，手术切除后预后良好。
