Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms predominantly found in females. The tumors are often histologically benign and patient outcomes are correspondingly favorable. This report presents the case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with metachronous metastatic SPT, and details the diagnosis and management of this patient. The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy for resection of the primary neoplasm with negative margins. A surveillance ultrasound performed at 43 months post-operatively revealed new hepatic lesions; these lesions were surgically resected and pathologically demonstrated to be metastatic SPT of the pancreas. This case report demonstrates the potential for latent metastasis of resected SPT, imaging characteristics of metastatic disease, the need for surveillance of patients following resection of SPT of the pancreas and a review of relevant literature on SPT.

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.
