Abstract

To the editor: Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is an uncommon neoplasm usually prevalent in young women with low malignant prognosis. Little has been studied regarding its high frequency in reproductive-age women. Despite the immunohistochemical expression of progesterone and a estrogen receptors, gonadotropin receptor expression has never been studied. The aim of this work is to describe whether luteinizing hormone (LH) receptor is expressed in SPTs of the pancreas. © Pancreas
