Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of pancreas is an unusual low-grade malignant epithelial tumor that usually occurs in young women and can be treated with surgical resection. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common solid lesion of the kidney and primarily a disease of the elderly patient.
Presentation Of Case: In this article we present a case of RCC with concomitant SPT of the pancreas who was treated successfully with a radical nephrectomy and distal pancreatectomy.
Discussion: RCC with concomitant SPT may associated in β-catenin gene mutation. But no prior reports have described RCC with concomitant SPT of the pancreas in the same patient.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of RCC with concomitant SPT of the pancreas in the same patient.

Objective: The present study reviews the records of patients with solid pseudopapillary pancreas neoplasm (SPT).
Methods: A total of 13 patients diagnosed with SPT were included in the study. The criteria for SPT in the pathology specimens were the presence of cells with an oval round orthochromatic nucleus, with a thin chromatin structure and no nucleolus distinction, lined around a fibrovascular papilla in cystic areas.

Background: Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPT) is a rare low-grade malignant tumor predominantly observed in young women without significant clinical symptoms. While most SPTs occur in the pancreatic region, rare cases have occurred in the retroperitoneum, making the diagnosis of ectopic SPTs difficult.
Case Presentation: Herein, we report a rare case of an extrapancreatic solid SPT with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) involvement in a 47-year-old man together with a literature review to provide context with clinical information, CT and a literature review.

Article Synopsis
- * It highlights a surgical method called central pancreatectomy that removes the tumor while preserving healthy pancreatic tissue, which is important to avoid complications like pancreatic insufficiency.
- * The procedure was performed successfully on three children aged 11 to 12, resulting in complete recovery and demonstrating that this technique can maintain good pancreatic function in selected cases.

Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a neoplasm with low malignant potential. It is often challenging to diagnose SPT due to its nonspecific clinical and radiological features, and [F]FDOPA is effective in diagnosing SPT, particularly in differentiating SPT from benign conditions such as splenosis. A 55-year-old woman underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for histologically confirmed SPT.

Background: While solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas are oncologically low-risk tumors, their resection with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or partial pancreatectomy (PP) carries a significant risk for morbidity. To balance the favorable prognosis with the surgical morbidity of pancreas resection, this study explores the oncologic safety of enucleation (EN).
Patients And Methods: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for resected SPT from January 2004 through December 2020.
