Surgery is typically curative in patents w...
متن کاملSolid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas: a Case Report and Literature of Review
Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT) are rare tumors of the pancreas with low malignancy potential and a very good prognostic outcome after surgery. The outcome after radical resection is favourable. A case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas in a 20-year-old woman is presented. The patient underwent resection of the mass in the pancreatic head and pancreaticoduod...
متن کاملLaparoscopic central pancreatectomy for solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas: our experience with ten cases
BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas are a rare neoplasm. There are few reports of laparoscopic central pancreatectomies (LCPs) for SPT of the pancreas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and long-term outcome of LCP based on a series of SPT patients. METHODS This retrospective study included ten patients who underwent LCP between 200...
