    Author: Nagri S, Abdu A, Anand S, Krishnaiah M, Arya V.
    Journal: JOP; 2007 Mar 10; 8(2):223-7. PubMed ID: 17356247.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor which usually affects young females in their second and third decade of life. Metastasis is very rare after a resection of curative intent. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 65-year-old white female who presented with metastasis to the liver four years after Whipple's resection for a solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. CONCLUSIONS: Solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas can present with metastasis a long time after resection of the primary tumor. Long term close follow up of these patients should be done. The survival rate even after liver metastasis is good.
