Solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas: A rare case
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) accounts for only 1–2% of pancreatic neoplasm. It occurs predominantly in young females. These are slow growing tumor having low-grade malignant potential with good long-term survival rate after complete resection. Due to its rarity, there are no large publishe...

| description | Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) accounts for only 1–2% of pancreatic neoplasm. It occurs predominantly in young females. These are slow growing tumor having low-grade malignant potential with good long-term survival rate after complete resection. Due to its rarity, there are no large published series in a single institution and multicenter studies being necessary for its deeper understanding. We report one such rare case of SPN. A 19 year old female presenting with vague abdominal pain and no other significant Symptoms and after all investigations was found to have mass in the head of pancreas. Pancreaticoduodenectomy with complete resection of tumor mass was done. Histopathological features were suggestive of SPN with tumor-free margins. There were no signs of local or distant metastasis and is under 2 monthly follow-up for last 8 months |
