Source abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare tumors. They typically affect young women and have low malignant potential. We describe the case of a 14-year-old female patient who presented with an abdominal mass diagnosed as a SPN of the pancreatic body and tail. The patient underwent a spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and histopathology with immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis. Her postoperative course was uneventful. This report underscores the importance of considering SPNs in the differential diagnosis of pediatric pancreatic tumors and highlights the favorable prognosis associated with complete surgical resection.
