Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP) are rare tumors, predominant in young women with etiopathogenesis still unclear, first described by Frantz in 1959. Their prognosis is generally good, treatment is based on surgery. Here we report the case of an 18-year-old girl with SPTP. The symptomatology was chronic evolving for 6 months made of atypical epigastralgia. The physical examination objectified a solid mass extended from the epigastrium to the left hypochondrium. The abdominal scanner showed a tissue mass at the expense of the body of the pancreas measuring 21x12x11cm. A pancreatectomy was performed. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination and immunohistochemistry.
