Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm is a unique enigmatic disease typically affecting young females. Being a low-grade neoplasm surgical resection is often curative. Rare cases (5-15%) present with distant metastasis. Only 2% has lymph nodal metastasis. This is a case report of metastatic SPN with both visceral and lymph nodal involvement. The work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria. Case Presentation: The authors present a case of metastatic SPN in an 18-year-old female who came with an abdominal lump. Contrast enhanced CT abdomen findings were in favour of huge SPN arising from pancreatic tail. The prime concern was the coexistence of bilobar liver metastasis predominantly involving right lobe. The complexity of surgical resection along with metastatectomy in a young female was herculean. This clinical dilemma was tackled with staged resection. Conclusion: Even in metastatic SPN a reasonable survival can be achieved by surgical debulking. We emphasize the importance of aggressive approach in operable metastatic SPN. |
