Frantz´s tumor. The tumor of young women. Pathological-radiological correlation of two cases on tomography Review of the literature.
Abstract
Frantz´s tumor or solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare unique tumor of low potential for malignancy that mainly affects young women with a mean age of 21.97 years. Patients are generally asymptomatic and the tumor might be discovered at physical examination and the performance or abdominal imaging for other reasons. More than 95% of patients are cured by complete resection. Therefore, the analysis done by magnetic resonance imaging and tomography and the pathological confirmation shows with accuracy the main characteristics of this tumor for its better understanding and make a prompt diagnosis and pertinent treatment.
