A rare pancreatic neoplasm in a 40‐year‐old male patient

Abstract

Key Clinical Message The differential diagnoses of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas include cystic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, acinar cell carcinoma, and pancreatoblastoma. Abstract Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a low‐grade malignant pancreatic tumor which accounts for 0.9%–2.7% of all exocrine pancreatic neoplasms. It predominantly affects young females (90%) and less frequently occurs in male patients. Its prognosis after surgical resection remains excellent. Herein, we report a case of SPN in a male patient.
