Abstract
- A solid pseudopapillary tumor is usually located on the pancreatic tail or body, mainly in young females. It is benign in nature and is rarely associated with local invasion, lymph node involvement or distant metastasis. A solid pseudopapillary tumor in children is extremely rare and there are only 40 reports worldwide with no domestic cases reported at all. An abdominal CT and endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a pancreatic head mass in a 12-year-old male child. An exploratory laparotomy was performed for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as a solid pseudopapillary tumor. We present here a case of a solid pseudopapillary tumor that was diagnosed in a 12-year-old male child, with a review of the literature.
