Abstract

We report a retrospective study of Solid Pseudo Papillary Tumor (SPPT) of the pancreas, a rare entity, which is a low grade malignant abdominal tumor at manyinstitute; this is relatively frequent in young women, with a discussion about its presentations and management. In our study we report 20 Solid pseudo papillary tumors of pancreas over a period of 10 year. 15 out of 20patients in our study were female with the median age at diagnosis was 27.25 years (range 1158 years). Abdominal pain and lump were the most common presenting complaints. Median size was 10 cm (range 317 cm) Distal Pancreatectomy(11 pts) and Pancreaticoduodenectomy (6pts) were the most common surgeries performed. 2 patients were inoperable and in one patient wide excision were done. Diagnosis of Solid pseudo papillary tumors of pancreas should be considered in young women presenting with a large solid cystic pancreatic mass and the treatment of choice consists of surgical resection. The outcome after surgical resection is excellent with long term survival of 90%.
