RESUMO
Solid and papillary tumors of the pancreas are very rare malignancies, more commonly occurring in young women. They usually present as asymptomatic, large abdominal masses, and different from the most common neoplasm of the pancreas, which is the adenocarcinoma, these tumors have a high percentage of curability when treated by complete surgical resection. (6) For this reason, when the diagnosis of Frantz's tumor is made or strongly suspected, every attempt should be made for complete surgical excision since curability is high and radiotherapy and, or chemotherapy are of no use for its treatment
