Introduction And Importance: A solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare solid neoplasm. It is an uncommon exocrine tumor that accounts for 1-3% of exocrine pancreatic tumors.
Case Presentation: The authors have reported two cases of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas with a median age of 12 years, both in females with abdominal pain.
Clinical Discussion: Both cases are in females with different treatment modalities. The patient underwent distal pancreatectomy in the first case and enucleation of mass from the distal pancreas in the second case because the size of the tumor is 5 cm and does not involve the bile duct and major pancreatic duct.
Conclusion: The authors discussed two cases of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas both in a 12-year-old female-both the patients presented with abdominal pain. The patient underwent a different treatment. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiological investigation through non-contrast and contrast CT and supported by histopathology findings.

Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) is a rare pancreatic tumor with low-grade malignant potential. They often present in young women in their second and third decade of life, with only a small minority concerning children. It has a good prognosis, with a five-year survival rate of up to 97%.

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is an extremely rare, low-grade, malignant pancreatic tumour with an excellent prognosis. We describe a case of SPN causing obstructive jaundice in a young female, thus mimicking pancreatic adenocarcinoma clinically and radiologically.
Case Presentation: A 32-year-old female presented with abdominal pain for 12 h, icterus, and an epigastric mass measuring 3 × 3 cm.
