ABSTRACT

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare neoplastic entity, accounting for 1-2% of pancreatic tumors. It is characterized by slow growth and low malignant potential. Histologically, it displays a mixed pattern of solid, pseudopapillary, and pseudocystic structures. Its origin remains a subject of debate. Although its presence can be clinically suspected, the diagnosis is established by histology and confirmed by immunohistochemistry, demonstrating a characteristic E-cadherin-positive phenotype. Due to the presence of progesterone receptors, these tumors may be influenced in their growth during periods of high progesterone levels. We present the case of a 25-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal pain and a large pancreatic mass. At the time of the presentation, she had experienced a spontaneous abortion. We review the literature on similar cases and discuss the potential value of hormonal blockers in these patients.
