The pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor, also called tumor Frantz, first described in 1959 by V.K. Frantz; constitutes less than 1% of pancreatic tumors. It is more common in young women but has also been described in men. It is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of low-grade, benign behavior due to their low metastatic and very difficult to diagnose. Complete surgical resections have a survival of 93% at five years. In this paper we present a case of a female patient of 33 years underwent surgery for abdominal tumor in November, 2010 whose final histological diagnosis was pancreatic solid pseudopapilar tumor or tumor Frantz.
