Abstract

Nandeesh BN, Kanishka Das

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPPNP) is a primary epithelial neoplasm of the exocrine pancreas with borderline malignant potential. The unusual features included the ‘giant’ size and the absence of metastases/ capsular or vascular invasion despite the large size and predominantly solid nature. At two years following complete excision, she is asymptomatic and the imaging shows no recurrence/metastases.
