Solid pseudopapillary tumours (SPT) of the pancreas are rare (usually benign) pancreatic tumours.

In a CT, usually seen as a well-encapsulated lesion with varying solid and cystic components owing to haemorrhagic degeneration. Following IV contrast administration, enhancing solid areas are typically noted peripherally, whereas cystic spaces are usually more centrally located. Calcifications and enhancing solid areas may be present at the periphery of the mass.
