{{Main|Solid pseudopapillary tumour}}
===General===
*Obscure cell of origin.
*Considered low grade, i.e. prognosis is usually good.
 
====Epidemiology====
Features:<ref name=Ref_GLP493>{{Ref GLP|493}}</ref>
*Usually females (M:F=1:9).
*Mean age of presentation third decade (20s).
 
====Management====
May be followed radiologically.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref>{{Ref GLP|493-5}}</ref>
*Solid sheets of cells, focally dyscohesive.
*Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
