Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas in a young woman: a case report and literature review

Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas is a rare neoplasm which occurs pre-dominantely in young females. This tumor generally is asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic and some imaging tests are useful for its diagnosis. We report a 17 years-old woman with dyspeptic symptoms submitted to an abdomina...
