Journal Title: Postępy Nauk Medycznych - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 5
Abstract
Recent development of radiological techniques and growing number of patients studied by different scanners results in a great number of asymptomatic tumors accidentally discovered what can input that radiological symptomatology of some very rare tumors should be overworked.The retrospective review of the medical records and images of 2 patients who underwent surgery for solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas between December 2002 and December 2013 was performed.In both patients with no or mild symptoms the pancreatic lesions were revealed in the screening abdominal ultrasound followed by computer tomography (CT). In 54-year-old woman the pancreatic body lesion (17 x 17 mm) has presented as hypoechoic, homogeneous solid tumor, isodense, non-enhancing mass in the CT study, mimicking malignant tumor.In 30-year-old woman lesion in the pancreatic head presented as inhomogeneous cystic tumor (35 x 23 mm) with peripheral nodule-like enhancing solid component in CT study (more typical for Gruber-Frantz tumor).Intraoperative pathomorphological examinations in both cases excluded pancreatic cancers and the local excisions of the tumors were performed. In both cases the final diagnosis was SPT (Gruber-Frantz tumor).
