Introduction
Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is a very rare primary neoplasm of the pancreas. Franz first described it in 1959. It is usually seen in young females. In spite of possible histological findings of malignancy, SPPT typically shows a benign clinical course and a low malignant potential. The pathogenesis of these tumors is still controversial. It has been suggested that it might originate from ductal and acinar pancreatic cells, endocrine cells or pluripotential stem cells.
