Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare epithelial tumor that primarily affects young women. Since the condition is often asymptomatic or presents with non-specific symptoms, its diagnosis can be difficult.
CASE SUMMARY: This report details the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with a 2-year history of abdominal pain, with no significant findings during physical examination. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a well-defined heterogeneous solid-cystic mass in the epigastric region, likely originating from the tail of the pancreas. A subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan indicated a well-defined cystic lesion with an enhancing solid component and capsule in the tail of the pancreas, suggestive of a cystic neoplasm. The patient underwent an open distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SPN of the pancreas.
CONCLUSION: This case highlights the risk of SPN in adolescent girls and the necessity of early diagnosis and intervention for better outcomes.
