| Popis: | Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas is a rare tumor with a low potential for metastasis and recurrence. Long-term outcomes after surgical resection are excellent and recurrences after an R0 resection are extremely rare. Case Presentation: We present an unusual case of a 42-year-old man who had a recurrence of his solid pseudopapillary tumor 4 years after undergoing a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy and then again a year after his reresection. Conclusions: The lack of histological features deemed to be suggestive of a malignant variant and the aggressive clinical course seen in this case is remarkable. It underscores the fact that despite the low incidence, recurrences of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas do occur and it can be very difficult to predict malignant potential based on radiological or histopathological features. |
