Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor: A Rare Neoplasm of the Pancreas with Excellent Outcome – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary tumor is an uncommon primary neoplasm of the pancreas that typically affects young women. SPN is generally considered as a tumor of low malignant potential which rarely metastasizes. It is important to differentiate this tumor from other pancreatic neoplasm, as this type is amenable to cure after complete surgical resection, even in cases with capsular invasion or disseminated diseases unlike other malignant tumors of the pancreas. Long term follow up is recommended in all cases of SPNs to prevent recurrence. The importance of accurate diagnosis and early management is emphasized
