Popis: An 18-year-old female presented to a tertiary care center after sustaining blunt abdominal trauma. Work up, including computer tomography (CT) revealed a hypo-attenuated collection in the pancreatic body with concern for ductal injury on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). These findings were consistent with posttraumatic intrapancreatic hematoma. An exploratory laparotomy with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed with concern for a grade 3 pancreatic injury. Pathology of the excised pancreas showed presence of a solid pseudopapillary tumor in the body of the pancreas which had been obscured by the hematoma on imaging.
