Diagnosis in short

Solid pseudopapillary tumour. H&E stain.
Synonyms solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm
LM solid sheets of cells - focally dyscohesive, eosinophilic cytoplasm (occasionally clear), focal eosinophilic (intracytoplasmic) globules, uniform nuclei with occasional nuclear grooves, +/-necrosis (creating spaces/cavities), +/-cholesterol clefts
LM DDx pancreatic pseudocyst, cystadenoma, cystadenocarcinoma (see invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour

Solid pseudopapillary tumour is a pancreatic tumour that is usually found in the tail.

It is also known as solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (abbreviation SPN) and solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm (abbreviated SPEN).[1]

General

  • Obscure cell of origin.
  • Considered low grade, i.e. prognosis is usually good.

Epidemiology

Features:[2]

  • Usually females (M:F=1:9).
  • Mean age of presentation third decade (20s).

Management

May be followed radiologically.

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Solid sheets of cells, focally dyscohesive.
  • Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • Occasionally clear cytoplasm.[4]
    • Focal eosinophilic (intracytoplasmic) globules - key feature.
  • Uniform nuclei with occasional nuclear grooves.
  • +/-Necrosis - creating spaces/cavities.
  • +/-Cholesterol clefts.[5]

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas. A. Tumor with prominent blood vessels and small cyst like spaces contrasts with normal pancreatic acini at right. B. Cohesive cell population. C. More dishesive cell population. D. Vascular pseudopapillae with hyalinized stroma. E. Aggregates of variably sized hyaline globules. Arrow points to longitudinal nuclear groove. F. Sometimes, as here, the cells show varied nuclear sizes and shapes. The cytoplasm, lightly eosinophilic to cleared, can have vacuoles (arrows).

IHC

Features:[4]

  • Beta-catenin +ve ~100% (cytoplasmic & nuclear).
  • E-cadherin +ve ~100% (cytoplasmic), -ve (membrane); antibody dependent.
  • CD10 +ve ~ 80% (cytoplasmic + dot-like) key.
  • Synaptophysin +ve (weak cytoplasmic) ~70%.
  • Progesterone receptor +ve (nuclear) key.

Others:

  • CD56 +ve.
  • Chromogranin -ve.

Memory device PCB: PR (nuclear), CD10 (cytoplasmic), beta-catenin (cytoplasmic & nuclear).
