Solid pseudopapillary tumor in an ectopic pancreas: an unusual presentation

Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare neoplasm. Very rarely, it may arise from an ectopic site. Solid pseudopapillary tumor occurring in the root of mesentery has not been described in the literature. This report summarizes a case of an adult male having the tumor arising from the mesenteric root. He underwent complete resection of the tumor followed by six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and remains asymptomatic till date.
