Abstract

Solid pseudo-papillary tumors are rare pancreatic tumors, which occur in females and are typically indolent neoplasms. However, atypical, aggressive variants can occur with locally advanced disease or metastases. They have characteristic imaging features, which vary according to size. This article provides a current update on the molecular biology, histopathology, clinico-radiological features, and management of these tumors.
