A solid pseudopapillary tumour arising from mesocolon without ectopic pancreas

Abstract

A solid pseudopapillary tumour (SPT) is an uncommon pancreatic tumour. Very rarely it has also been described outside the pancreas, usually arising from heterotopic pancreatic tissue. In this paper, we described a case arising from the transverse mesocolon without heterotopic pancreatic tissue in an 18-year-old girl. Copyright © 2010 Mesut Tez et al.
