Solid Pseudo-Papillary Tumor Mimicking as Complicated Pseudocyst: Multimodality Imaging and Pathological Correlation.

ABSTRACT

Pancreatic neoplasm is very rare in the pediatric population. Malignant tumors represent less than 0.2% of pediatric cancer-related mortality. Pancreas lesions can be from exocrine or endocrine origin or present themselves as cystic masses. Clinical, biological, and radiological findings usually are sufficient to establish diagnosis, but in some cases, they may be misleading. We present the case of a young patient presenting a pancreatic mass where anatomical and metabolic characteristics of the lesion were discordant to the final diagnosis.
