| Sumario: | Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are usually described as rare lesions with low malignant potential and unpredictable behavior. The prognosis may be favorable even with local or distant dissemination. Despite the steady increase of cases diagnosed, the pathogenesis of this neoplasm remains unclear. We present a case of an incidental tumor discovered because of an acute abdomen in a postpartum woman without previous evidence of a tumor during the pregnancy. |
