RESUMEN

Introducción:

El tumor sólido pseudopapilar del páncreas es un tumor epitelial de baja malignidad que afecta a mujeres jóvenes y corresponde de 1 a 2 % de todas las neoplasias del páncreas. Presentamos un caso tratado en el Hospital General de Tijuana, y revisión de la literatura. Caso clínico Mujer de 37 años de edad, con síntomas de saciedad temprana y distensión abdominal. Durante una colecistectomía abierta se identificó un tumor en el cuerpo del páncreas, se tomó biopsia y estableció el diagnóstico de tumor sólido pseudopapilar páncreas. Fue tratada con pancreatectomía distal y esplenectomía.

Conclusiones:

El tumor sólido pseudopapilar del páncreas es la neoplasia de etiología desconocida más frecuente en mujeres jóvenes, de diagnóstico diferencial ante tumor en páncreas, aunque por su rareza no debe ser la primera opción a descartar. Las manifestaciones clínicas incluyen dolor abdominal, sensación de plenitud o saciedad temprana, masa abdominal, náusea y vómito, entre otras. Los exámenes de laboratorio por lo general son normales. La tomografía axial computarizada puede revelar masa heterogénea grande con una cápsula. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante biopsia y la cirugía por sí sola tiene un nivel de curación excelente y se debe intentar en todos los casos.
ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is an epithelial tumor of low malignancy that primarily affects young women and represents approximately 1-2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. We present a case of this type of tumor treated in the General Hospital of Tijuana, Mexico, as well as a review of the literature. CLINICAL CASE We present the case of a 37-year-old female with symptomatology of early satiety and abdominal distension. During open cholecystectomy we found a tumor in the body of the pancreas. Biopsy was done, establishing the diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. The patient was treated successfully with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy.

DISCUSSION:

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm. It is more frequent in young women and has an unknown etiology. Clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, sensation of plenitude or early satiety, abdominal mass, nausea and vomiting. Laboratory tests are usually normal. Computerized axial tomography may show a large encapsulated heterogeneous mass. Diagnosis is established through biopsy and surgery is the best treatment for this pathological entity.

CONCLUSIONS:

One may conclude that the solid pseudopapillary tumor is a differential diagnosis in the presence of pancreatic tumors, although due to its rarity it is not the first option to discard. Surgery represents the best treatment for this pathological entity and should be attempted in all cases, independent of the size of the pancreatic injury.
