[A solid epithelial papillary-cystic pancreatic tumor. A report of a clinical case and review of the literature].

Solid and papillary epithelial tumor of the pancreas is an uncommon neoplasm of low malignant potential, which occurs mainly in adolescent and young adult females. We report the case of a 17 years old woman, who presented with an abdominal mass, which was diagnosed cytologically by aspiration. The surgical procedure was total excision. Six months post surgery the patient is healthy. As this is a very unusual occurrence, a review of the literature has been made on clinical, histological, radiological and surgical features.
