Background: Solid cystic pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SCPTP), commonly known as Gruber-Frantz’s tumor is a rare form of pancreatic tumors commonly misdiagnosed as pancreatic pseudocysts. It mainly affects middle-aged women, with an excellent prognosis. Different techniques are used to diagnose this type of tumor, while surgery remains the mainstay of the treatment.
