Abstract
We report 2 cases in women aged 30 and 27 years, who are currently under follow-up. Both presented with non-specific clinical features such as epigastric pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever or weight loss over the previous months. Ultrasound dis- closed heterogeneous masses in the tail and head of the pancreas, respectively. The study was completed in both women with computed tomography and magnetic resonance, which revealed heterogeneous lesions with solid and cystic components. They underwent surgery with a preoperative suspicion of SPTP: Distal splenopancreatectomy in the patient with the tumour in the tail of the pancreas and cephalic pancreatoduo- denectomy with pylorus conservation in the woman with the tumour in the head of the pancreas. In both women, the pathological anatomy and immunohistochemistry, with positivity for CD10, CD56, vimentin, neuronal enolase and progesterone
receptors, and mild positivity to chromogranin, established a final diagnosis of SPTP.
