Abstract
Solid pseudo-papillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms accounting for less than 2% of all pancreatic tumors and primarily affecting young women. They are generally characterized by a clinical and radiological polymorphism. In most cases, complete surgical resection is curative. We report a case of a young woman presenting with a pancreatic tumor revealed through a vague non-specific abdominal pain. The diagnosis was based on the histological examination of the surgically-removed piece.
