[Papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas].
Papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas, usually found in the tail, is a relatively benign tumor that occurs predominantly in young women. We report a 17-year-old girl admitted for investigation of an abdominal mass found on routine examination. At operation a 12 cm solid mass was found originating from the tail of the pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy was performed and histopathological examination revealed a solid papillary cystic tumor.
