Abstract

Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm with low malignant potential, which has a good prognosis with more than 95% survival at 5 years. Only approximately 10% to 15% cases of SPTs are malignant. This report presents a case of a 38-year-old woman who developed malignant SPT of the pancreas with synchronous multiple hepatic metastases. She underwent a successfully complete surgical resection for multiple hepatic metastatic tumors in addition to primary tumor.
