Abstract
Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon and usually occur in
young women. They are generally large, encapsulated masses with mixture of solid,
cystic, and hemorrhagic components. Some cases have atypical features; for example,
they can form a small predominantly solid mass and produce dilatation of the main
pancreatic duct. In this article we discuss and illustrate the spectrum of the appearances
of this distinctive neoplasm on multidetector CT.
