An extrapancreatic solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm in the greater omentum

A solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is an uncommon pancreatic tumour that usually occurs in young women. Tumours outside the pancreas (e.g. in the ovary, retroperitoneum or omentum) are rare. We report a case of an SPN arising from the greater omentum in a 78-year-old male who presented with a mo...

description A solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is an uncommon pancreatic tumour that usually occurs in young women. Tumours outside the pancreas (e.g. in the ovary, retroperitoneum or omentum) are rare. We report a case of an SPN arising from the greater omentum in a 78-year-old male who presented with a month-long history of abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Laboratory data showed inflammation and anaemia. CT and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined encapsulated mass measuring 18 cm in the upper right abdomen. The tumour was completely removed via surgery, and pathologic examination confirmed a diagnosis of an SPN in the greater omentum.
