Abstract
We present the case of a 37-year-old female with abdominal pain in the epigastrium radiating to the right flank of a month of evolution. On physical examination, the epigastric mass was palpated, firm and painless. Computed tomography (CT) showed a cystic tumor in the body and tail of the pancreas with solid areas and defined borders (12 x 10 cm), which displaced structures. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle biopsy was performed, with a cytology consistent with solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT). Subsequently, a distal pancreatectomy with tumor resection and nodal dissection were performed. Cytology reported discohesive cells, some arranged around capillaries, with small nuclei with clefts, CK7 negative and β-catenin positive. After four years of follow-up, there is no evidence of recurrence.
