Pancreatic pseudopapillary tumour: A rare misdiagnosed entity

INTRODUCTION: Solid pseudo papillary pancreatic tumour is a rare entity. The atypical presentation causes a delayed or misdiagnosis of these pathology. It commonly affects the female population in the 2nd and 3rd decade of life. The presentation varies from non-specific abdominal pain to incidental findings in asymptomatic patients. It is a low-grade premalignant condition that is curable by excision of the tumour. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This paper presents a 17-year-old girl with intra-abdominal mass diagnosed with solid pseudo papillary tumour that underwent Whipple's procedure. DISCUSSION: We discuss the presentations, diagnosis and pathology findings of this rare pathology. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis remains an enigma in view of the nature and location of the tumour. Resection is still the best choice remains for this condition.
