Solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas(SPTs) are comparatively rare and have low malignancy,with a predilection for young women.Diagnosis is difficult when a SPT develops in a boundary region with other organs.Here,we report a 42-year old woman with a SPT of the pancreas mimicking a submucosal tumor of the stomach on imaging.She was admitted to our hospital complaining of abdominal pain.We suspected a submucosal tumor of the stomach from the f indings of endoscopy,endoscopic ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography.However,angiography showed that some of the tumor vessels arose from the pancreas.Intraoperative f indings revealed the tumor originated from the pancreas.Therefore,distal pancreatectomy was performed.The pathological diagnosis was SPT of the pancreas.

Diagnosis is difficult when a SPT develops in a boundary region with other organs. Here, we report a 42-year old woman with a SPT of the pancreas mimicking a submucosal tumor of the stomach on imaging. The was was to our hospital complaining of abdominal pain. We suspected a submucosal tumor of the stomach from the f indings of endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography. , angiography showed that some of the tumor vessels arose from the pancreas. Intraoperative f indings the tumor originated from the pancreas.Therefore, distal pancreatectomy was done. The pathological diagnosis was SPT of the pancreas.
