Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (Frantz tumor) is a rare pathological entity, with a higher incidence in young women, and is typically classified as a tumor with low malignant potential. Clinical manifestations are nonspecific and depend on the anatomical location involved. A case is presented involving a 27-year-old female patient with a 10-month history of diffuse abdominal pain and a 5-kg weight loss over the preceding six months. Endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy revealed a 45 × 45 mm solid-cystic mass. A Whipple pancreatoduodenectomy was performed, with postoperative follow-up at eight days showing no complications. Histopathological analysis confirmed a solid pseudopapillary tumor with negative resection margins. This neoplasm accounts for approximately 0.2% to 2.7% of pancreatic tumors, and more than 50% of cases are asymptomatic, often discovered incidentally on imaging studies. Treatment is based on complete surgical resection, with documented five-year survival rates exceeding 90%. These tumors are exceedingly rare and are associated with an excellent long-term prognosis following complete surgical excision.
