Özet

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas, also known as Frantz tumor, is an uncommon tumor with indolent clinical features that primarily affects young women. We are presenting a 27-year-old Caucasian female with an accidental finding with pancreatic SPN who underwent complete resection of the tumor using a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy procedure. Immunohistochemistry revealed low-grade pancreatic SPN. Despite the rare appearance, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a young female with a large pancreatic mass.
