Peculiar encounter of sarcoidosis and solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas

Abstract

Objective: Current literature indicates a connection between sarcoidosis and malignancy, prompting advanced screening in uncertain cases. Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas are rare entities that can be confirmed by adding imaging results to immunohistochemistry staining. The aim of this article is to describe a rare association of sarcoidosis and SPT.
