Abstract
In this paper, we present an asymptomatic young patient with solid and cystic papillary neoplasm of the pancreas. It is an extremely rare tumour mostly seen in young females. It is often diagnosed incidentially or during investigations of gastrointestinal complaints. In differential diagnosis, any cystic and/or solid pancreatic disease process should be considered. Prognosis is excellent after radical resection and recurrence is rarely seen.
