Detection of a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with F-18 FDG positron emission tomography

Solid pseudopapillary tumor (Frantz's tumor) of the pancreas is a rare lesion with low malignant potential, affecting primarily young women. The authors report the detection of a solid pseudopapillary tumor by F-18 FDG positron emission tomography. FDG PET imaging showed increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the tumor.
