Case report demonstrates portal vein compression and hypertension caused by pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor in a young female, highlighting multimodal imaging in rare vascular presentations.
Solid pseudopapillary tumour (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm, which occurs predominantly in young females and is usually amenable to cure by surgical resection. Imaging plays an important role in its diagnosis. We present the sonographic, CT and MRI features of SPT in a young female whose chief complaint was recurrent haematemesis secondary to portal venous compression.
