Solid pseudopapillary tumour is a pancreatic tumour that is usually found in the tail.
It is also known as solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (abbreviation SPN) and solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm (abbreviated SPEN).[1]
General
- Obscure cell of origin.
- Considered low grade, i.e. prognosis is usually good.
Epidemiology
Features:[2]
- Usually females (M:F=1:9).
- Mean age of presentation third decade (20s).
Management
May be followed radiologically.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Solid sheets of cells, focally dyscohesive.
- Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Occasionally clear cytoplasm.[4]
- Focal eosinophilic (intracytoplasmic) globules - key feature.
- Uniform nuclei with occasional nuclear grooves.
- +/-Necrosis - creating spaces/cavities.
- +/-Cholesterol clefts.[5]
DDx:
- Pancreatic pseudocyst.
- Cystadenoma.
- Cystadenocarcinoma - see invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas.
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour - may have cytoplasmic vacuolation, hyaline globules.[4]

IHC
Features:[4]
- Beta-catenin +ve ~100% (cytoplasmic & nuclear).
- E-cadherin +ve ~100% (cytoplasmic), -ve (membrane); antibody dependent.
- CD10 +ve ~ 80% (cytoplasmic + dot-like) key.
- Synaptophysin +ve (weak cytoplasmic) ~70%.
- Progesterone receptor +ve (nuclear) key.
Others:
- CD56 +ve.
- Chromogranin -ve.
Memory device PCB: PR (nuclear), CD10 (cytoplasmic), beta-catenin (cytoplasmic & nuclear).
