Papillary and solid epithelial neoplasm is a rare pancreatic tumor of low-grade malignancy. We report a case of a 23 year old female having solid and papillary neoplasm of the pancreatic tail with mutiple omental and peritoneal metastases. Microscopically, the main tumor showed typical histologic findings including solid and papillary areas with cystic change. But the metastasizing nodules were largely solid and the tumor cells demonstrated increased nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromasia and an increased mitotic rate. The tumor cells contained considerable amount of intracellular and extracellular eosinophilic inclusions which were ultrastructually zymogen-like granules. These inclusions were more frequently found in the metastatic nodules. By flow cytometric study, the tumor was hyperdiploid. The DNA index was not significant.
