Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is an extremely rare tumor, associated with favorable prognosis and long-term survival in patients with advanced disease. However, limited data exist on systemic therapy for such patients.

The immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed overexpression of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in tumor tissue. The patient started to receive tamoxifen and showed a durable response to endocrine therapy.
