Abstract
Solid and papillary neoplasms of the pancreas are rare tumors that usually occur in young women as enlarging abdominal masses. These lesions almost never metastasize but may be locally destructive. Although the usual treatment is surgery, the authors herein report a case that was treated solely by radiotherapy. They conclude that solid and papillary neoplasms of the pancreas are radiosensitive and can be successfully treated by radiation therapy.
