Abstract

This study aimed to report clinical features and CT, MRI, PET/CT findings of solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas. Thirty-four patients with pathologically proven SPT were retrospectively reviewed. Most patients were asymptomatic. SPTs in male patients mainly appeared as solid and near solid tumors. Mixed tumors and cystic tumors had larger size than solid and near solid tumors. Solid tumors and solid part of mixed tumors were T2 hyperintense and T1 hypointense and had progressive enhancement. Four tumors (80%) showed markedly even or uneven 18F-FDG uptake. These characteristic features can help differentiate SPT from other pancreatic neoplasms.
