Popis: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor with low malignant potential, typically affecting young women. In literature this tumor may be referred to as Frantz tumor, solid tumor, cystic tumor, papillary-cystic tumor or solid pseudopapillary tumor. According to the current WHO classification from 2010 these tumors are considered low-grade malignant epithelial tumors of pancreas. In this case report we present a case of 19-years old women with cystic lesion located in left hypogastrium. After thorough evaluation and subsequent multidisciplinary consultation, the patient was indicated to radical resection of the lesion. Final histological evaluation of the surgical specimen revealed the diagnosis of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm.
