Solid serous adenoma of pancreas

Abstract

Solid serous adenoma (SSA) is a rare variant of serous cystic neoplasm of pancreas. We present a case of pancreatic SSA in a 73‑year‑old female, who underwent Whipple’s surgery. Histopathological study supplemented by histochemical and immuno‑histochemical study was performed which supported the diagnosis. Recognition of this variant is important as solid pancreatic tumors, although benign, behave in a malignant fashion.
