Abstract:
Purpose:To study clinical and pathological features of solid-pseudopapillary tumor(SPT) of the pancreas. Methods:The clinical data were reviewed in four patients with SPT. Immunohistochemistry for Vim, CK8, CK18, Chromogranin, Sy, AAT, NSE, S-100 was performed in all four cases using EnVision. Results:All four patients were female. The mean age was 30 years. The tumors were composed of papillary and solid structures. The uniform cells were strongly diffuse positive for Vim, and strongly positive for focal AAT in four cases. Three cases were positive for NSE. All four cases were negative for Sy , Chromogranin and S-100. One case was poorly positive for CK8 and CK18. Conclusions:SPT of the pancreas, preferentially in young women, is a tumor with low malignant potential. Immunohistochemistry is very important in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SPT of the pancreas..
