Prediction of malignancy and adverse outcome of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas

Figure 3 High uptake of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose in a patient with solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. SPTP in a 25-year-old female patient with a T2 stage tumor. A: CT scan revealed a 5-cm isodense mass in the pancreatic head. B and C: Transaxial PET/CT (B) and PET (C) showed a hypermetabolic lesion with the maximum standardized uptake value of 33. She was disease free for 32 mo after surgical resection. SPTP: Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas; PET/CT: Position emission tomography/computed tomography.
