Abstract

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPNP) is a rare entity. In this study, we present a woman in her 20's who presented for evaluation of two separate pancreatic masses. On imaging and biopsy, the tail lesion was thought to be a neuroendocrine tumour and the body lesion was thought to be a metastatic lymph node. The patient was brought to the operating room and underwent a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged home on postoperative day 4. Pathology confirmed both masses were consistent with the diagnosis of well-differentiated SPNP with no signs of malignancy including lymphovascular or perineural invasion, or lymph node involvement.
