Abstract:
Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is rare primary tumor of the pancreas with low malignant potential affecting adolescent or young women. Radical surgical resection is the definitive treatment for long-term survival even in the patients with metastases. We report a case of 14-year-old girl who presented with unresectable SPT of the pancreas. She received preoperative chemotherapy with cisplatinum, ifosfamide, etoposide, and vincristine followed by intraoperative radiofrequency ablation of metastatic liver lesions with surgical resection of the primary tumor successfully. We demonstrate that all attempts should be made to resect or ablate the primary as well as the metastatic lesions for long-term survival.
