Abstract
This case presentation describes a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm found in a young 41-year-old female. This mass was initially detected with sonography and later confirmed with an ultrasound-guided biopsy. The neoplasm was scheduled to be surgically resected, as a cure, which has a favorable long-term prognosis. This case provides information on the imaging characteristics and natural history of this benign neoplasm.
