Abstract :
Solid cystic pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is an extremely rare tumor of the exocrine pancreas, occurring predominantly in young women. SPN has a low malignant potential and patient can expect an excellent prognosis after adequate surgical excision. Awareness of this tumor entity with good prognosis is crucial to make proper diagnosis to offer better treatment and reduce morbidity. We report here on a previously healthy 12 year old female presented to our institution with lump in the left side of upper abdomen and abdominal pain for 8 months. Imaging revealed a solid & cystic mass arising from the distal body and head of pancreas. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) shows positive for CD10 and PR. Final histopathologic evaluation following resection confirmed this lesion to be a Solid Cystic Pseudopapillary Neoplasm(SPN) of pancreas
