Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) is rare in older women, typically having low malignant potential. This report details an unusual case of SPTP with synchronous liver metastasis in a 74-year-old female.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Gastroenterology
Pathology

Background:

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) is a rare pancreatic neoplasm.
SPTP predominantly affects young females and has a low malignant potential.
A 5-year survival rate exceeding 90% is typical, with metastasis being exceptionally rare.

Observation:

A 74-year-old female presented with a pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor.
The patient was diagnosed with synchronous hepatic metastasis.
This presentation is atypical given the tumor's typical demographic and low metastatic potential.

Findings:

The case highlights an unusual occurrence of SPTP in an elderly patient.
Synchronous hepatic metastasis was observed, which is a rare event for this tumor type.

Keywords:

Hepatic metastasis Pancreas neoplasms Solid pseudopapillary tumor

This case challenges the conventional understanding of SPTP's clinical behavior and metastatic patterns.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering SPTP in older individuals, even with atypical presentations.
It suggests that SPTP can exhibit metastatic potential, necessitating thorough staging and monitoring.
Further research into the factors influencing SPTP metastasis may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
