title: Solid and cystic epithelial neoplasm of pancreas with metastasis: report of a highly unusual case.
abstract: Solid and cystic papillary epithelial neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon tumors occurring predominantly in young women. These tumors have excellent prognosis and after complete surgical resection, more that 95% patients are cured. Occasionally, they invade the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma. These tumors can recur even many years after resection, so long-term follow up is essential. Very few cases metastasize. We present a case of a middle aged woman with metastases to liver and omentum.
