Resumen
PADRON-PARDO, Oscar et al. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas: A series of five cases and a literature review. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.4, pp.466-476. Epub 11-Jul-2023. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.840.
Introduction:
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas represent around 3% of resected cystic pancreatic tumors. They occur more frequently in young women between the second and third decades of life. It is a tumor with little malignant potential located mainly in the tail; however, it can be found in any pancreatic anatomical location.
Materials and methods:
We reported five cases of four women and one man, between 16 and 36 years of age, who consulted mainly for abdominal pain.
Results:
Four patients underwent distal pancreatectomy without laparoscopic splenectomy, and one underwent laparotomy pancreatoduodenectomy. The tumor was completely and satisfactorily removed from all five patients. No metastasis was found. The tumors were located on the head (1), neck (1), and predominantly on the body and tail (3). The postoperative histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis in all five cases; in the youngest patient, a percutaneous biopsy had been performed before surgical intervention.
Conclusions:
Complete surgical resection of the tumor with preservation of the spleen is the treatment of choice in patients with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas.
