Abstract

Solid pseudopapillary tumours (SPT) are rare, cystic neoplasm of the pancreas with low malignant potential. It usu-ally occurs in females in second to third decade of life and have favourable diagnosis. We present a case of SPT which was diagnosed incidentally in a 19 year old pregnant female at 12 weeks who later had an abortion at 20 weeks of gestation. Pan-creatic pseudopapillary tumors are rare neoplasms with low malignant potential and sound be kept as differential diagnosis while evaluating pancreatic tumors.
