The solid-cystic tumor of the pancreas is an uncommon, low-grade malignant tumor occurring exclusively in young women. It is known to have a good prognosis, though local invasion and infiltration of the pancreatic capsule may occur and distant metastasis is uncommon. The tumor is usually large at the time of presentation, and surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Pathological misdiagnosis as nonfunctional islet cell tumor, cystadenoma, or cystadenocarcinoma is fairly common. We report 2 cases of such a tumor, focusing on the radiologic findings with the pathologic correlation. Pathologically the tumor cells were arranged around tiny vessels as pseudorosettes formation. By computed tomography the tumor depicted a well demarcated mass, mixed cystic and solid or largely cystic. For 1 of them, the tumor contained rim calcification. The preoperative correct diagnosis of such tumors is important because the prognosis after complete resection is good. |
