title: Unusual solid pancreatic tumors.
abstract: The vast array of possible histologies for a given pancreatic mass makes the specific diagnosis of a solid pancreatic mass in an individual patient challenging. This article discusses and reviews the imaging findings of those entities that are likely to be encountered in clinical practice, specifically pancreatic endocrine tumors, solid pseudopapillary tumor, secondary pancreatic masses, and heterotopic spleen.
