| Popis: |
Solid cystic tumor of the pancreas (SCPT), also known as Frantz tumor is a rare pancreatic tumor with an incidence less than 2% of all non-endocrine pancreatic tumors. Young women are more often affected than men. We report the case of a 28-year-old female who presented with vague abdominal pain of two-month duration. Ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large cystic mass which was seen to be arising from the tail of the pancreas and attached to the mesentery. Distal pancreatectomy was done, which on histopathological examination was diagnosed as SCPT. Due to its rareness and behavior, this tumor is often associated with diagnostic and management problems. |
