Abstract: Pseudopapillary and solid tumors of the pancreas (PPSTP), also called FRANTZ tumor, are rare tumors, occur especially in young women, and etiopathogenesis still uncertain. Their local and distant extension is rare, and their prognosis remains good especially after complete excision. Their risk of degeneration is 10 to 20%. We report the cases of a 5 pseudo-papillary and solid tumor of the pancreas in five women with no notable history.
