Resection of a large Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas: A multidisciplinary feat and review of literature.

Abstract

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is an extremely rare tumor with low malignant potential which is generally located in the tail of the pancreas. The prevalence of SPN has increased with the recent advancement in radiological imaging. CECT abdomen and Endoscopic ultrasound-FNA are excellent modalities in preoperative diagnosis. Surgery is the main treatment modality of choice and a successful R0 resection is curative. We present a case of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm and included a summary of the current literature to provide a reference for the management of this rare clinical entity.
