    Journal: Pancreas; 2012 Nov; 41(8):1336-40. PubMed ID: 22699200.
    Abstract:
    Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm with low malignant potential, which affects predominantly young females. Only approximately 10% to 15% cases of solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) are malignant. We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who developed malignant SPT of the pancreas. Meanwhile, a literature review was carried out. Some clinicopathological features and strategies of management of malignant SPT are presented. In general, surgical removal of the tumor even in case of metastases or recurrence offers an excellent prognosis. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be taken into consideration in patients with unresectable tumor.
