摘要Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate the CT features of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) so as to improve the imaging diagnostic abilities. Methods: The CT materials of 10 cases with surgery andpathology proved SPTP were retrospectively analyzed, including 8 females and 2 males, their age ranged from 12 to 54years (average being 27.2 years). All of the 10 cases underwent spiral CT scan and also with contrast enhancement before surgery. Results: All of the 10 cases were isolated mass. They were located at the head (n = 5), tail (n = 4), and body (n =1) of the pancreas. Their shapes were round (n = 3), oval (n = 4), and irregular (n = 3). The long-axis diameter ranged from 2.1-8.6 cm (mean 6.5 cm). All of neoplasms consisted of solid and cystic components. Mostly solid components in 5 cases,nearly the same proportion of solid and cystic part in 3 cases, and mostly cystic components in 2 cases. After dynamic contrast-enhanced, the solid parts of the lesion showed progressive enhancement and the cystic parts of the lesion showed no enhancement. Calcification was noted in 5 cases, such as the spot, line-like, small nodules or patchy calcification. Fluiddebris level and "floating cloud" sign were noted in one case. In one case of mostly cystic components, patchy area of high attenuation were shown on CT imaging which then was proved as old hemorrhage by pathologic evaluation. Seven cases were completely encapsulated and made more remarkable on post-contrast images. Three cases had incomplete capsules,and adhesion to the surrounding tissues could be seen during operation, including one case in which invasion to the adjacent adipose tissues near the inferior vena cava and walls of the duodenum could be seen under the microscope. Pancreatic duct broadening or hepatic duct dilatation was caused by tumor each in 1 case. All of the 10 cases had no enlargement of the intra-abdominal lymph nodes or distant organ metastasis. Conclusion: SPTP occurs mainly in young women and has comparatively characteristic CT imaging features: a large solid and cystic tumor of pancreas, sharp edges, the solid parts of the lesion showed progressive enhancement, a few with hemorrhage and calcification.
