Definition
A low-grade malignant neoplasm that arises from the exocrine pancreas. Rare cases arising from ectopic pancreatic tissue in the ovary have also been described. It is characterized by the presence of uniform cells that form solid and pseudopapillary patterns, cystic changes, and hemorrhage. It usually presents as an encapsulated, solitary, and lobulated mass. It occurs predominantly in young women. Complete removal of the tumor is curative in the majority of cases.

Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
