title: A case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas: preoperative cyst fluid analysis and treatment by enucleation.
abstract: The authors report a case of a 26-year-old female who had a solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. The patient had preoperative cyst fluid analysis that demonstrated low levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and moderate elevation in cyst fluid carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and lipase. Cyst fluid cytology was diagnostic. The tumor was successfully treated by complete enucleation.
