Zhao M, Wang J, Lai J, Liu F, Zhang Y, Cao L, Liu L, Ma K, Li J, Deng Q. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas (SPNs): diagnostic accuracy of CT and CT imaging features. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:225. [PMID: 39192321 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03503-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To summarize the abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging and clinicopathological data of patients with SPNs of the pancreas and analyze the accuracy of preoperative CT diagnosis and features. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2006 and June 2023, CT images of 120 histopathologically proven SPNs in the pancreas were retrospectively reviewed. Fifteen features, including age, sex, and CT-determined features, were included in a multiple stepwise regression analysis. The correlations between features and SPNs, including odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were evaluated. RESULTS Among the 120 patients, the diagnostic accuracy of CT was 43.3%. The baseline CT results of patients with a correct diagnosis and misdiagnosis revealed significant differences in sex (P = 0.043), age (P = 0.004), boundary (P = 0.037) and encapsulation (P = 0.002) between the two groups. The preoperative imaging diagnostic accuracy was significantly greater in females than in males (47.9% vs. 25.0%, P = 0.043). The immunohistochemical indices did not significantly differ between the two groups. The results of univariate analysis revealed significant differences in sex (P = 0.048), age (P = 0.014), tumor length (P = 0.023), tumor boundaries (P = 0.039) and capsule type (P = 0.003). The results of multivariate analysis revealed that encapsulation was closely related to the diagnostic accuracy of CT (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of CT in the diagnosis of SPNs is low, but a length‒diameter ratio of the tumor approaching 1.0, encapsulation and clear boundaries are important CT-determined features. The capsule is an independent CT predictor in the diagnosis of SPNs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study reviews the records of patients with solid pseudopapillary pancreas neoplasm (SPT). METHODS A total of 13 patients diagnosed with SPT were included in the study. The criteria for SPT in the pathology specimens were the presence of cells with an oval round orthochromatic nucleus, with a thin chromatin structure and no nucleolus distinction, lined around a fibrovascular papilla in cystic areas. RESULTS The study included 11 female and two male patients, with a mean age of 33.07 (range: 16-73) years. All operated patients underwent open surgery, with five undergoing a subtotal pancreatectomy and splenectomy; one a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy; four a spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy; and one a pancreaticoduodenectomy. None of the operated patients developed recurrence during the long-term follow-up. The mean follow-up time of operable patients was 69.18 (range: 22-97) months, and none had metastasis at follow-up. The mean follow-up time for the malignant SPT patients was 2.75 (1.5-4) months. CONCLUSION SPTs are rare pancreatic tumors encountered more frequently today due to advances in imaging methods and have a low potential of recurrence and a good prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) are rare clinical entity, with low malignancy and still unclear pathogenesis. They account for less than 2% of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms. This study aimed to perform a systematic review of the main clinical, surgical and oncological characteristics of pancreatic SPTs. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were systematically searched for the main clinical, surgical and oncological characteristics of pancreatic SPTs up to April 2021, in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) standards. Primary endpoints were to analyze treatments and oncological outcomes. RESULTS A total of 823 studies were recorded, 86 studies underwent full-text reviews and 28 met inclusion criteria. Overall, 1384 patients underwent pancreatic surgery. Mean age was 30 years and 1181 patients (85.3%) were female. The most common clinical presentation was non-specific abdominal pain (52.6% of cases). Mean overall survival was 98.1%. Mean recurrence rate was 2.8%. Mean follow-up was 4.2 years. CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic SPTs are rare, and predominantly affect young women with unclear pathogenesis. Radical resection is the gold standard of treatment achieving good oncological impact and a favorable prognosis in a yearly life-long follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas with hepatic metastases are infrequent and difficult to diagnose, and treatment is uncertain. METHODS A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients with pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) hepatic metastases who underwent surgery at the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2005 to December 2021 was conducted. A total of 287 patients with SPN were included in the study, of which 8 (3%) developed liver metastases, all of whom were treated surgically and recovered well after surgery. The clinical presentation, imaging features, surgical treatment, histopathological examination, and postoperative follow-up data (mean 70 months; range 28-138 months) of the patients were recorded and analyzed. Clinical response strategies can be derived by reviewing previous studies on hepatic metastases of SPNs. RESULTS For resectable hepatic metastases from pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, early surgery with total resection of the primary tumor and metastasis has shown great efficiency and is associated with patient good prognosis. In patients presenting unresectable hepatic metastases, aggressive tumor reduction surgery resulted in the alleviation of clinical symptoms and reduction of tumor burden while potentially achieving long-term survival. CONCLUSION For hepatic metastases of SPNs, a preoperative liver tissue biopsy is beneficial for a definitive diagnosis. Surgery demonstrates excellent therapeutic efficacy and is considered the preferred curative treatment approach. This paper presents clinical experiences with SPN-related hepatic metastases at the Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University, which can be used to guide patient counseling in clinical practice.

Int J Surg Case Rep 2024; 120:109867. [PMID: 38870658 PMCID: PMC11258626 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2024.109867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms, accounting for only 1 %-2 % of all pancreatic tumors, and predominantly affect female patients. CASE PRESENTATION The present case report details a patient presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain for 3 days who ultimately received a diagnosis of SPNs in the pancreatic body and tail. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a sizable mass arising from the pancreas, featuring an enhancing cystic component with involvement of the liver and spleen. The patient underwent subsequent exploratory laparotomy, a distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and partial hepatectomy. SPN diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry with negative resection margins. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Approximately 70 % of SPN cases are asymptomatic and are incidentally discovered. Despite advances in diagnostic modalities, preoperative diagnosis of SPNs remains a clinical challenge. Surgical management with negative resection margins remains the primary treatment approach. The recurrence rate after surgical resection has been reported to be 3 %-9 %. The prognosis for SPNs limited to the pancreas is generally favorable, with a cure rate exceeding 95 % after complete surgical resection. CONCLUSION An SPN of the pancreas is a rare tumor observed in young female patients. Although it is classified as a malignant tumor, SPN has low malignant potential. Aggressive surgical resection, however, has proven effective in curing SPN for the majority of patients.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas is a rare tumor of low malignant potential that occurs most often in young females. Imaging and histopathology are necessary to confirm the diagnosis as most have no symptoms. Lack of access to these technologies in sub-Saharan Africa contributes to the difficulty in making an early and accurate diagnosis, and hence, impedes treatment. We present two cases of SPEN of the pancreas in young female patients at a rural, teaching hospital in Cameroon. The diagnosis was made only with histopathology. Computed tomography scan with intravenous contrast was essential to planning a safe surgical resection. Both patients had complete surgical resection with good results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) are generally indolent; however, some patients present with "malignant" SPN. An orthogonal analysis of multiple datasets was performed to investigate the utility of complete surgical resection (CSR) for malignant SPN. METHODS A systematic review was performed for cases of malignant SPN, defined as T4, N1, and/or M1. Malignant SPN was analyzed within the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and compared with T1-3N0M0 SPN. Predictors of malignant SPN were assessed, and treatments were analyzed by using survival analysis. RESULTS The systematic review yielded 164 cases of malignant SPN. Of 31 children, only one died due to malignant SPN. Among adults, CSR was associated with improved disease-specific survival (DSS) (P = 0.0002). Chemotherapy did not improve malignant SPN DSS, whether resected (P = 0.8485) or not (P = 0.2219). Of 692 adults with SPN within the NCDB, 93 (13.4%) had malignant SPN. Pancreatic head location (odds ratio [OR] 2.174; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.136-4.166; P = 0.0186) and tumor size (OR 1.154; 95% CI 1.079-1.235; P < 0.0001) associated with the malignant phenotype. Malignant SPN predicted decreased overall survival (OS) compared with T1-3N0M0 disease (P < 0.0001). Resected malignant SPN demonstrated improved OS (P < 0.0001), including resected stage IV malignant SPN (P = 0.0003). Chemotherapy did not improve OS for malignant SPN, whether resected (P = 0.8633) or not (P = 0.5734). Within a multivariable model, resection was associated with decreased hazard of death (hazard ratio 0.090; 95% CI 0.030-0.261; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Approximately 13% of patients with SPN present with a malignant phenotype. Pediatric cases may be less aggressive. Resection may improve survival for malignant SPN, which does not appear chemosensitive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare low-grade malignant tumor. Here, we aimed to determine the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy for SPT located in the pancreatic head. METHODS From July 2014 to February 2022, 62 patients with SPT located in the pancreatic head were operated laparoscopically in two institutions. These patients were divided into two groups according to the operative strategy: laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy (27 patients, group 1) and laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (35 patients, group 2). The clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed in terms of demographic characteristics, perioperative variables, and long-term follow-up outcomes. RESULTS The demographic characteristics of the patients in the two groups were comparable. Compared to the patients in group 2, those in group 1 required less operative time (263.4 ± 37.2 min vs. 332.7 ± 55.6 min, p < 0.001) and experienced less blood loss (105.1 ± 36.5mL vs. 188.3 ± 150.7 mL, p < 0.001). None of the patients in group 1 had tumor recurrence or metastasis. However, 1 (2.5%) patient in group 2 showed liver metastasis. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy is a safe and feasible approach for SPT located in the pancreatic head, with favorable long-term functional and oncological results.

Abstract
Frantz tumors or solid pseudopapillary pancreatic neoplasm (SPN) are rare exocrine neoplasms that carry a favorable prognosis; they represent up to 3% of all tumors located in the region of the pancreas and have specific age and gender predispositions. In recent years, the rising curve of diagnosis is entitled to the evolution and access of diagnostic imaging. In this paper, we have retrospectively reviewed and described the clinical course of 40 patients with SPN from three institutions in Brazil, who had their diagnosis between 2005 and 2020, and analyzed the clinicopathological, genetic, and surgical aspects of these individuals. In accordance with the literature, most patients were women, 60% with unspecified symptoms at diagnosis, with tumors mainly located in the body and tail of the pancreas, of whom 70% underwent a distal pancreatectomy with sparing splenectomy as a standard procedure, and none of the cases have experienced recurrence to date. Surgery still remains the mainstay of treatment given the low metastatic potential, but more conservative approaches as observed in this cohort are evolving to become the standard of care. Herein, we present an in-depth analysis of cases focusing on the latest literature and report some of the smallest tumor cases in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first report evaluating germline genetic testing and presenting a case of detected Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

Abstract
Introduction The solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPN) is a rare form of pancreatic neoplasm with an incidence of 2-3% of all pancreatic tumours. The recent increase in incidence is attributed to the increasing use of imaging techniques for nonspecific abdominal complaints. We report our institutional experience in the management of this tumour over the last decade. Method We retrospectively analyzed from a prospectively maintained database of patients from January 2011 to December 2020 who were operated upon for SPN. All the patients were followed till date. Results Of 479 patients operated on for various types of pancreatic tumours during this period, 15 (3.1%) had SPN. The mean age of presentation was 28 years with a female preponderance (12/15, 80%). The most common location was the body and tail of the pancreas (66%), and the mean size was 6.4 cm (2–15 cm). The tumour extent was defined as ‘borderline resectable' in 20% of cases. Distal pancreatectomy was done in 11 patients with spleen preservation in 3. R0, R1, and R2 resection were done in 12, 2, and 1 patient(s), respectively. The operative mortality was 6.7%. All the patients are doing well on follow-up. Conclusion SPN is a low-grade malignant tumour with a strong female predilection. Clinical manifestations have no specificity, imaging examination only contributes tumour location, and the final diagnosis rests on pathology. Surgery is the main modality of treatment and carries a good prognosis.

Clinical Pattern of Preoperative Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Can Predict the Aggressive Behavior of Resected Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:2119. [PMID: 33925678 PMCID: PMC8125428 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13092119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Predicting the aggressiveness of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) remains an important goal. The present study aimed to identify perioperative factors that can predict patients who will develop clinically aggressive SPN. Records of individuals with pathologically confirmed SPN from 2006 to 2017 were obtained from the patient registry database of Yonsei University, Severance Hospital. For this study, aggressive behavior was defined as SPN that had recurred, metastasized, or involved adjacent organs. A total of 98 patients diagnosed with SPNs were analyzed retrospectively. Of these, 10 were reported to have SPNs with aggressive characteristics. We found that age (≥40 years; p = 0.039), symptomatic presentation (p = 0.001), tumor size (>10 cm; p < 0.001), positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) classification (p < 0.001), and lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.003) were significantly correlated with aggressive behavior of SPNs. Multivariate analysis showed that PET/CT configuration (p = 0.002) (exp(β)111.353 (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.960-2081), age ≥40 years (p = 0.015) (exp(β) 23.242 (95% CI: 1.854-291.4)), and lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.021) (exp(β) 22.511 (95% CI: 1.595-317.6)) were the only independent factors associated with aggressive SPN. Our data suggest that age ≥40 years, PET/CT Type III configuration, and lymphovascular invasion are independent factors associated with aggressive SPN. This information can help clinicians develop individualized management and surveillance plans to manage patients more effectively.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors and have a general female predominance. We report a case and intraoperative videos of SPN involving the whole pancreatic tail. A 19-year-old female patient initially presented to another healthcare facility complaining of abdominal pain, which was started 6 years ago. A contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed a large mass measuring 15.6 cm × 11.6 cm × 11 cm, arising from the pancreas with an enhancing cystic component. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a huge mass occupying most of the abdominal cavity. Thus, we proceeded with a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Intraoperatively, the frozen section showed that the mass had features of a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with negative resection margins. The SPN diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. The pathophysiology behind the development of SPN and its cellular origin is still a matter of debate with multiple proposed hypotheses. SPNs are asymptomatic in almost 70% of all cases and usually discovered incidentally. The pre-operative diagnosis of SPNs remains a clinical challenge despite all the current advances in the diagnostic modalities. Surgical management with negative resection margins is the mainstay of treatment, even with metastasis and vascular invasion, surgical excision should be performed whenever feasible. The recurrence rate after surgical resection has been reported to be 3-9%. The prognosis of SPN limited to the pancreas is generally excellent with over 95% cure rate following complete surgical resection. SPN is a rare entity of a controversial origin but is considered as a low-grade malignancy. Surgical resection to achieve complete excision constitutes the mainstay of treatment, which mostly results in an excellent prognosis.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are rare and typically occur in young women. Compared with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, solid pseudopapillary tumors are characterized by notable indolent biological behavior associated with a favorable prognosis. Despite their large size, these tumors rarely metastasize. Even in cases of hepatic metastasis, most lesions are usually solitary in distribution and are amenable to resection. We report a case of a 55-year-old man with a small solid pseudopapillary tumor (≤3-cm diameter) mimicking a pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with multiple hepatic metastases. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy using a 22-G core needle. Unfortunately, rapid tumor progression led to patient mortality 5 months after diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report that describes a small solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with multiple hepatic metastasis and poor prognosis in a patient who was diagnosed with this condition at the time of initial diagnosis.

Abstract
Exocrine pancreatic neoplasms represent up to 95% of pancreatic cancers (PCs) and are widely recognized among the most lethal solid cancers, with a very poor 5-year survival rate of 5%-10%. The remaining < 5% of PCs are neuroendocrine tumors that are usually characterized by a better prognosis, with a median overall survival of 3.6 years. The most common type of PC is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which accounts for roughly 85% of all exocrine PCs. However up to 10% of exocrine PCs have rare histotypes, which are still poorly understood. These subtypes can be distinguished from PDAC in terms of pathology, imaging, clinical presentation and prognosis. Additionally, due to their rarity, any knowledge regarding these specific histotypes is mostly based on case reports and a small series of retrospective analyses. Therefore, treatment strategies are generally deduced from those used for PDAC, even if these patients are often excluded or not clearly represented in clinical trials for PDAC. For these reasons, it is essential to collect as much information as possible on the management of PC, as assimilating it with PDAC may lead to the potential mistreatment of these patients. Here, we report the most significant literature regarding the epidemiology, typical presentation, possible treatment strategies, and prognosis of the most relevant histotypes among rare PCs.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas (SPN) have been reported increasingly; however, series focusing on portal-superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) or adjacent organ resection are limited in the literature. The aim of this study was to present our experience in treating patients with SPN who underwent this extensive resection. Ten eligible patients were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Eight females and two males with a median age of 23 years (range, 11 to 58 years) and a median tumor diameter of 12 cm (range, 4 to 20 cm) were observed. All patients had imaging signs of vascular and/or adjacent organ involvement. Resection with curative intent was performed in all patients; eight underwent synchronous PV/SMV resection and two underwent synchronous left nephrectomy. Malignant SPN was confirmed in seven patients. Postoperative mortality was nil and morbidity occurred in five patients. At a median follow-up of 67.5 months (range, 12 to 110 months), nine patients were alive with no evidence of disease and one died of liver metastases. In conclusion, malignant SPN are low-grade tumors with good prognosis. More aggressive attitude should be adopted when PV/SMVor adjacent organ involvement is indicated on preoperative imaging. En bloc synchronous PV/SMV or adjacent organ resection should be applied, when necessary, to achieve complete resection.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and pathology of solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas in our institution. Patients and Methods We retrospectively analyzed the demographic details, clinical features, imaging findings, and pathological findings of 87 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP) and underwent surgery in Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, over a period of 8 years from 2011 to 2018. Results Our study involved a total of 87 patients (16 males and 71 females) with a mean age of 31.3±13.1 years (range: 10–61 years). The main compliant was abdominal pain or discomfort (n=49) and the median tumor size was 58.6±31.7 mm (range: 16–156mm). Tumors were located in the head (27 patients, 31%), the neck (13 patients, 15%), and the body and tail (47 patients, 54%). There were no significant differences between the patients in terms of sex, age, or tumor location. Partial pancreatectomy was performed in 79 patients, enucleation in six patients, and total pancreatectomy in two patients. R0 resection was achieved in 86 patients. The postoperative morbidity was 36.8%, and the main complication was pancreatic fistula. Pathological examination and immunohistochemical markers were used to provide a final diagnosis. The main follow-up period was 46 months (range: 13–97 months). At the end of the follow-up period, 86 patients were alive and had not experienced recurrence; one patient was lost to follow-up. Conclusion The accurate diagnosis of SPTP is vital. Our data showed that surgical resection is safe and associated with low morbidity and mortality rates. Pathological findings can play an important role in diagnosis and long-term survival.

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas showing marked distal atrophy: A case report. Int J Surg Case Rep 2019; 55:136-139.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm with marked parenchymal atrophy of the distal pancreas. No acinar cells were observed, indicating exocrine dysfunction of atrophic parenchyma. The vestige of main pancreatic duct was observed in the distal atrophic pancreas. Central pancreatectomy without anastomosis of distal side of pancreas was performed. Introduction Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm, affecting primarily young females. Because SPNs are of low-malignancy, they rarely obstruct the main pancreatic duct (MPD) and cause atrophy of the distal pancreas even if their tumor sizes are large. Presentation of case A 35-year-old female was referred to our hospital due to pancreatic tumor. Imaging findings showed the presence of well-defined round tumor in the body of the pancreas with 25-mm in diameter. The pancreas parenchyma distal to the tumor was markedly atrophic, and MPD dilatation was not observed. The lesion was diagnosed as SPN by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), and central pancreatectomy was performed. Intraoperative frozen section of the distal atrophic pancreas showed no evidence of acinar cells, indicating exocrine dysfunction. Therefore, we closed distal pancreas stump instead of reconstruction. In the distal atrophic parenchyma, scattered foci of islets of Langerhans and the vestige of dilated MPD were observed. She has shown neither endocrine nor exocrine insufficiency after surgery. Discussion SPNs are usually found without atrophic change of distal pancreas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of SPN in which exocrine dysfunction of atrophic pancreas was demonstrated pathologically and central pancreatectomy without anastomosis of distal pancreas was chosen for the surgical treatment. Conclusion We reported a very rare case of SPN with marked distal parenchymal atrophy. We successfully performed central pancreatectomy without reconstruction.

Abstract
Background The role of progesterone receptor (PR) has been reported in a series of pancreatic cysts. However, the relationship between PR and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPNP) has not been elucidated so far. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic value of PR in SPNP. Methods A total of 76 patients with SPNP treated in our institution from January 2012 to December 2017 were included. Demographic parameters, laboratory data, pathologic information and clinical outcomes were analyzed by the use of survival analysis. In addition, a pooled case series was performed to evaluate the results. Results The institutional data included 76 patients (17 male and 59 female) ranging from 8 to 90 years (median, 30 years) in age. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis confirmed negative PR result was significantly associated with poorer disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) (both P < 0.001). In the pooled analysis, a total of 62 studies comprising 214 patients with SPNP were included. After multivariable cox analysis, negative PR result remained an independent prognostic factor for SPNP (DFS HR: 14.50, 95% CI: 1.98–106.05, P = 0.008; DSS HR: 9.15, 95% CI: 1.89–44.17, P = 0.006). Conclusion Our results indicated the role of PR in predicting adverse outcome of patients with SPNP and negative PR result may serve as a potential prognostic factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare tumors considered to be benign although 10% to 15% of SPNs have been reported to be aggressive. Due to its rarity, there have only been a few cases reported regarding the clinical course of patients with aggressive SPNs. The goal of this study is to describe the clinical course of patients diagnosed with aggressive SPNs. METHODS A PubMed search was done looking for articles describing the clinical course of patients diagnosed with SPN that locally invaded, recurred, or metastasized. Institutional experience was also added to the pooled data. Patient information was extracted from the articles. Survival and recurrence curves were plotted and factors associated with survival and recurrences were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 59 patients were identified to have aggressive SPN. Seven patients were males and 52 were females and the mean age was 37.44 ± 2.21 years. Systemic metastasis constituted 81.4% while recurrence and deep tissue invasion were found in 11.9% and 6.8% of the patients, respectively. Disease-free survival was 45 ± 6.28 months and disease-specific survival was 152.67 ± 12.8 months. In survival analysis, age, gender, tumor size, tumor location, combined resection, type of recurrence, and stage IV on diagnosis were not significant factors in predicting survival. However, an unresectable tumor (hazards ratio [HR] = 4.871, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.480-16.03, P = .009), and metastasis within 36 months (HR = 6.399, 95% CI: 1.390-29.452, P = .017) were identified as independent variables in predicting survival. CONCLUSION SPNs of the pancreas carry a favorable course. Despite having aggressive properties, patients can still survive for more than 10 years as long as the tumor can be resected completely.

Abstract
Frantz' tumours or solid pseudopapillary tumours of the pancreas are rare neoplasms with low malignant potential. Young women in the second to third decades of life are more frequently affected. The treatment of choice is resection of the lesion, which is often curative. The recurrence is uncommon when radical surgical resection is used. Radiological characteristics are important for the correct diagnosis, since the preoperative planning is fundamental to obtain the cure. The objective of this study is to report a rare case of locoregional recurrence and to review the radiological findings of solid pseudopapillary tumours of the pancreas in the literature, as well to know the incidence and risk factors of tumor recurrence. This case report is from a 37-year-old female patient evaluated at an Oncologic Hospital, in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, who presented an uncommon evolution of the disease, characterized by local recurrence despite the complete resection of the primary lesion with free margins.

Abstract
Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare neoplasm that is typically indolent in nature. Surgical resection is the preferred method of treatment and often associated with a good prognosis. Local invasion and metastasis have been reported in a small subset of patients. Currently, there are limited data on the molecular mutation profile of invasive and metastatic SPN. In this report, we present the case of a 38-year-old female with a locally-invasive and unresectable SPN that, despite exhaustive chemoradiotherapy, progressed to liver metastasis. Pyrosequencing of the primary pancreatic tumor antecedent to metastasis showed an uncommon EGFR mutation at L861Q in the kinase domain of exon 21. This finding, if confirmed in additional cases of metastatic SPN, would support preoperative testing for EGFR mutation analysis to detect aggressive SPNs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study reports the clinicopathological characteristics and the perioperative and long-term treatment outcomes after aggressive surgical resection in solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas performed at a high volume center for pancreatic surgery in India. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed a prospectively maintained database of the patients operated for SPT at Tata Memorial Hospital, India over a period of 11 years from February 2007 to February 2018. RESULTS Fifty consecutive patients operated for SPT, during the study period were included. The median age at presentation was 24 years. Majority of the patients (43/50) were female (86%). Disease was predominantly localized in the head and uncinate process of pancreas (66%). Median tumor size was 7.7 cm (Range 1.6-15 cm). Tumor extent was radiologically defined as borderline resectable or locally advanced in 48% (n = 24) patients. Forty-six major pancreatic resections were performed, which included 10 (21%) vascular resections, 2 synchronous liver metastasectomies, 1 multi visceral resection and 5 total pancreaticosplenectomies. Five of these resections were reoperations in patients deemed inoperable on exploration at other centers. R0 resection was achieved in 47 patients (98%). Postoperative major morbidity was 19% and there was no mortality. At a median follow-up of 29 months (Range, 1-121 months), all patients were alive without any recurrence. CONCLUSION Aggressive complete surgical resection of SPT achieves excellent long-term survival. Surgery, especially for large and borderline resectable tumors, can be potentially complex and should be performed at high-volume centers to provide the best chance of cure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Two issues were put forth by clinicians in the management of the advanced stages of rare variants of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and other exocrine histotypes with peculiar clinical and pathological features: Do chemotherapy regimens recommended in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients have a clinical activity in rare pancreatic tumors? Or should other chemotherapy combinations be considered in this subset of patients? METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study that collected data from 2005 to 2016 at 14 Italian cancer centers with the aim to evaluate tumor response and time to progression for first- and second-line and overall survival. RESULTS Of approximately 4300 exocrine pancreatic cancer patients, 79 advanced cases affected by rare histological types were identified, with pancreatic acinar cell cancer (n = 23), pancreatic adenosquamous cancer (n = 16), and mucinous cystic neoplasm with an associated invasive mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (n = 15) most represented. Survival analyses for each subgroup in relation with the different chemotherapy regimens showed the lack of statistical significance correlations. CONCLUSIONS Because of the lack of clinical trials in patients affected by these rare pancreatic histotypes, only their molecular classification would help clinicians in future therapeutic choice.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal cancers despite extensive research. Further understanding of precursor lesions may enhance the ability to treat and prevent pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) with malignant potential include: mucinous PCLs (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasm), solid pseudopapillary tumors and cystic neuroendocrine tumors. This review summarizes the latest literature describing what is known about the pathogenesis and malignant potential of these PCLs, including unique epidemiological, radiological, histological, genetic and molecular characteristics.

Abstract
Introduction Solid pseudopapillary Carcinoma (SPC) is a rare pancreatic Tumor with variable, usually low, malignancy potential. Howewer, several SPC are associated with aggressive behavior, local vascular infiltration, organ invasion, distant metastasis, and can be unresectable. Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) is an emerging non-thermal ablation technique for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma. We report the results of four year disease-free follow-up in a case of locally advanced unresectable SPC treated with IRE. Presentation of case A 24-year female patient with SPC of the pancreas underwent IRE during laparotomy under general anesthesia with intubation. Computed Tomography (CT) showed complete tumor thrombosis of splenic vein, encasement of celiac artery and mesenteric vein. Six insertions of 3–4 electrodes per insertion were performed. One month-CT-control showed shrinkage of the tumor. 6 months-post-treatment imaging showed complete regression of the mass, patent Splenic/mesenteric veins, absence of local recurrence or distant metastasis. Post treatment CTs at 12-18-24-30-36-42-48 months follow-up confirmed absence of local or distant recurrence. Discussion Surgery is the first choice curative treatment of SPC. Howewer aggressive surgery (duodeno-pancreasectomy) in unresectable cases, may have a high risk of recurrences, morbidities and death, and bring concerns about endocrine and exocrine insufficiency in a young patient. In these cases, IRE could be a safe and effective alternative treatment and could realize, in selected cases, the condition for a radical surgery, and a bridge to R-0 resection. Conclusions IRE could represent an effective alternative therapy to surgery in local advanced, unresectable SPC.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas are rare tumors accounting for 1-2% of pancreatic exocrine neoplasms. This entity was first described by Dr. Frantz in 1959 and was defined by the World Health Organization in 1996 as "solid pseudopapillary tumor." It is most often a benign neoplasm, but 10-15% of the cases are malignant. Over the past decades, the incidence of this tumor is increasing. However, many surgeons are still unfamiliar with this neoplasm and its unique characteristics, which can lead to pitfalls in the diagnosis and treatment. The correct diagnosis of SPNP is of utmost importance since it has a low malignant potential and with the appropriate treatment, patients have a long life expectancy. There are many genetic alterations, involving various signaling pathways that have been associated with SPNP and are very important in diagnosing the tumor. The cornerstone of SPNP treatment includes surgical excision of the tumor, preserving as much pancreatic tissue as possible. We review the information in the literature regarding more organ-preserving techniques and possible clinical features that might indicate a malignant potential, thus demanding a more radical intraoperative excision.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the metabolic characteristics of Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) in relation signal intensities on 18F-FDG PET scans. Summary Background Data SPNs of the pancreas commonly show high uptake of 18F-FDG. However, the metabolic characteristics underlying the high 18F-FDG uptake in SPNs are not well characterized. Materials and Methods mRNA expressions for glucose metabolism were analyzed in five SPNs, five pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PCAs), and paired normal pancreatic tissues. Among the proteins involved in glucose metabolism, the expressions of five proteins (GLUT1, HK1, PFKM, ENO2, and PKM2) were evaluated in 36 SPNs by immunohistochemistry. Clinical patterns of SPN on PET scans were classified according to the proportion of 18F-FDG uptake within the whole tumor volume (hot: ≥ 70%, mixed: 30 ≤ < 70, and defective: < 30%). PET-based parameters, including maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and metabolic tumor volume (TMV2.5), were evaluated. Results Hot (n = 19), mixed (n = 5), and defective (n = 12) 18F-FDG uptake patterns were noted in the 36 patients. Radiologic tumor size and SUVmax differed significantly according to these patterns (ANOVA, p < 0.05). GLUT1, HK1, PFKM, ENO2, and PKM2 were highly expressed in SPNs at both the mRNA and protein levels. Defective type SPNs showed lower expression of HK1 (p = 0.014), PKM2 (p = 0.028), and Ki-67 (p = 0.070) with frequent intra-tumoral necrosis (p = 0.007). High Ki-67 expression (≥ 3%) was associated with high SUVmax in pancreatic SPNs (p = 0.002). Conclusions SPN cells harbor an active molecular capacity for increased glucose metabolism. Especially, defective type SPNs were associated with low metabolic activity and related to low Ki-67 index.

Abstract
The patient is a girl aged 17 years who originally presented at age 11 years with a solid pseudopapillary tumour (SPT) in the head of the pancreas treated by an R0 pylorus-preserving Whipple procedure. The patient underwent surveillance CT every 3 months for the first year followed by MRI every 6 months. She was noted to have a new liver lesion in Couinaud segment VI highly suspicious for metastasis at 30 months. Liver wedge biopsy confirmed metastatic SPT. Two months later two new lesions were noted in Couinaud segment VII. The family preferred medical management to surgery resulting in a treatment combination of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib and hepatic artery embolisation. The patient developed a hepatic abscess following embolisation but recovered with antibiotics. The patient has subsequently been followed with serial MRIs every 3 months, and 20 months following chemoembolisation, she has no evidence of recurrence of the metastases.

Abstract
This study aimed to report clinical features and CT, MRI, PET/CT findings of solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas. Thirty-four patients with pathologically proven SPT were retrospectively reviewed. Most patients were asymptomatic. SPTs in male patients mainly appeared as solid and near solid tumors. Mixed tumors and cystic tumors had larger size than solid and near solid tumors. Solid tumors and solid part of mixed tumors were T2 hyperintense and T1 hypointense and had progressive enhancement. Four tumors (80%) showed markedly even or uneven 18F-FDG uptake. These characteristic features can help differentiate SPT from other pancreatic neoplasms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to introduce our experience with treating patients with pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) and to investigate the clinical risk factors for recurrence of SPTs because no consensus has been established to date. METHODS One hundred twenty-one patients underwent surgical resection from January 2008 to December 2015 in our institution. Clinical data were collected from the standardized reports. RESULTS Of the 121 patients, 93 (76.9%) were women, 28 (23.1%) were men, and the mean age at diagnosis was 33.7 years (range, 11-68 years). Sixty patients were subjected to short-term complications, and 8 patients experienced long-term complications, some of whom may require surgery. The tumor located in the distal pancreas (P = 0.02), and a Ki-67 index value > 1.5 (P = 0.01) indicated malignancy according to the World Health Organization 2000 classification. One hundred three patients responded to follow-up, and 3 cases (2.9%) were subject to liver metastases. Recurrence was more frequently observed in tumors classified as high-grade malignancies according to the World Health Organization 2010 classification (P = 0.013), synchronous metastases (P < 0.001), peripancreatic fat infiltration (P = 0.018), and lymphovascular invasion (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Evaluating the risk of the recurrence of SPTs still requires systematic and multicenter trials in the future, even some pathological features showed statistical differences.

Abstract
In order to analyze characteristic CT signs in the solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 49 patients with pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas who where treated in Liaoning Cancer Hospital. All of the patients were confirmed by pathology, CT signs were analyzed and a pathology contrast was conducted. Furthermore, all cases had single lesions; 7 cases in the pancreatic head, 23 cases in the pancreatic body, 15 cases in the pancreatic body-tail and 4 cases in the pancreatic tail. The boundaries of the lesions were clear and the tumors, which may outline the pancreas, were composed of solid and polycystic parts. In addition, calcifications could be observed in the lesions and CT results revealed varying degrees of contrast enhancement of the solid components in the arterial phase, as well as a gradual contrast enhancement in the venous and delayed phase. Enhancement of capsule could be observed, and the enhancement region was observed in the solid part, no enhancement in cystic part.. In conclusion, CT manifestations of solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are specific, which is helpful to the diagnosis.

Abstract
Background and aim Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare pathological condition, representing less than 3% of all exocrine pancreatic tumors. SPT usually occurs in young females, without notable symptoms, with a low malignant potential and excellent prognosis. Method We conducted a retrospective study during the period January 2005 – January 2015. SPT patients admitted in our institution were reviewed by describing demographic data, clinico-pathologic and radiological features, therapeutic management and prognosis records. Results Thirteen patients with SPT were identified (10 females), with a median age of 30 years. The main clinical presentation was abdominal pain (92.3%). The tumor was mostly located in the body or tail of the pancreas (77%), and the mean size was 8.2 cm. Regarding the surgical approach there were 5 distal pancreatectomies with splenectomy, 3 body and tail pancreatectomies, 2 body and tail pancreatectomies with splenectomy, 2 pancreato-duodenectomy, 1 partial enucleation and of all only 2 partial resections. Postoperative hematoxylin- eosin staining and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis in all cases. None of the patients had lymph nodes metastases. Only one local invasion. There was one case of death due to postoperative complications. Four cases followed adjuvant systemic chemotherapy. The mean follow-up was 18 months, without evidence of recurrence during this period. Conclusion SPT should always be considered in the differential diagnosis in young women with a pancreatic tumor. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice, and is usually curative. The decision to administer systemic therapy must be individualized. Malignant behavior and late recurrences mandates long-term follow-up for patients with SPT.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm is a rare pancreatic tumor. Most patients are female and within the second or third decade of life. The radiologic features are crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Tumor size has not been shown to be a predictor of resectability. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice with an excellent long-term prognosis. Introduction Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare pancreatic tumor. Most patients are female within the second or third decade of life with only a small minority concerning children. Frequently described as low malignant potential tumors, surgical resection remains the main treatment. Presentation of case The authors present a case of a SPN diagnosed in a 17-year-old Caucasian girl with vomiting and abdominal pain localized to the right upper quadrant. CT scans and MRI scans showed the presence of a well-defined tumor arising from the pancreatic head with 14 cm of greater diameter. Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was performed and histopathology confirmed a SPN with complete resection and no evidence of malignancy. Discussion SPN are usually found incidentally hence the importance of an accurate radiologic diagnosis. Symptoms may be present such as abdominal pain or vomiting due to compression, namely in large tumors. A surgical approach is usually indicated aiming complete resection, with tumor size not predicting resectability. Conclusion Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are extremely rare and usually have an excellent long-term prognosis after surgical resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of pancreas is a rare pancreatic neoplasm with a low metastatic potential. Our aim was to study the clinical-pathological characteristics, and long-term outcome of this tumor. MATERIALS Rretrospective single center study of patients operated for SPN of pancreas. Clinical and pathological data were collected. RESULTS From 1995 to 2016, 1320 patients underwent pancreatic resection. SPN was confirmed in 32 cases (2.46%), including 29 (90.6%) female and three (9.4%) male, with a mean age of 28.4 ± 12.2 years. SPN was the most common pathology among female patients under age of 40 (72.4%). Abdominal pain was the most frequent presenting symptom (48%), whereas none of the patients presented with jaundice. Mean tumor diameter was 5.9 cm (range, 0.9-14 cm). All patients underwent margin-negative surgical resection. Two patients demonstrated gross malignant features, including liver metastases at presentation (n = 1), and adjacent organ and vascular invasion (n = 1). Microscopic malignant features were present in thirteen patients (40.6%). Recurrence occurred in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes (n = 1, 7 years post resection) and in the liver (n = 2, 1 and 5 years post resection). Mean follow-up was 49.2 months (range, 1-228 months). Five and 10-year disease-free survival was 96.5% and 89.6% respectively. CONCLUSIONS SPNs are low-grade tumors with a good prognosis. Margin-negative surgical resection is curative in most patients. However, almost 15% of patients demonstrate malignant features including invasion of adjacent organs or metastatic disease. Patients with malignant disease are still expected to have long survival, and aggressive surgical approach is advocated.

Abstract
Aim of this study was to review the institutional experience of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas with particular attention to the problems of preoperative diagnosis and treatment. From 1997 to 2013, SPT was diagnosed in 18 patients among 451 pancreatic cystic neoplasms (3.7%). All patients underwent preoperative abdominal ultrasound, computed assisted tomography, and tumor markers (CEA and CA 19-9) determinations. In some instances, magnetic resonance, positron emission tomography, and endoscopic ultrasound with aspiration cytology were performed. There were two males and 16 females. Serum CA 19-9 was slightly elevated in one case. Preoperative diagnosis was neuroendocrine tumor (n = 2), mucinous tumor (n = 2), and SPT (n = 14). Two patients underwent previous operation before referral to our department: one explorative laparotomy and one enucleation of SPT resulting in surgical margins involvement. All patients underwent pancreatic resection associated with portal vein resection (n = 1) or liver metastases (n = 1). One patient died of metastatic disease, 77 months after operation, and 17 are alive and free with a median survival time of 81.5 months (range 36-228 months). Most of SPT can be diagnosed by CT or MRI, and the role of other diagnostic tools is very limited. We lack sufficient information regarding clinicopathologic features predicting prognosis. Caution is needed when performing limited resection, and long and careful follow-up is required for all patients after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since their introduction in the WHO classification, the incidence of solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas has progressively increased, mainly because of the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging. Few recent studies have analyzed the biological behavior of SPTs, but reliable data on long-term follow-up are needed. METHODS Retrospective analysis of two Institutions with high caseload, The Department of General Surgery-Pancreas Institute, University of Verona Hospital Trust and the Department of General Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, was carried out. Data from 131 consecutive resections for SPT performed during the last three decades were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The majority of patients were female (86.3%) with a median age of 33 (7-68) years. The prevalent location was the pancreatic tail (33.5%). Applying the WHO criteria, 16 (12.2%) SPTs were considered malignant due to the presence of at least pancreatic parenchyma (9.9%), perineural (4.6%), and/or angiovascular invasion (2.3%). After a median of 62 months after surgery, only two patients had a recurrence (1.5%). Both of them fulfilled the WHO criteria for malignant SPT (vs. 10.7% of those who did not recur, P = 0.01), had an infiltrative growth pattern (vs. 10.8%, P = 0.01), pancreatic parenchyma invasion (vs. 9.7%, P = 0.01) and capsular invasion (vs. 4.9%, P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Overall, SPTs are associated with excellent survival results after surgical resection. Disease recurrence is extremely rare, and might occur if the primary tumor presents with either pancreatic parenchyma or capsule invasion. J. Surg.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is an epithelial tumor with low-grade malignant potential and present more common in females. At present, the gold standard for accurate diagnosis of pancreatic tumor was mostly depending on the pathological and/or cytological evaluation. In this work, TPEF microscopy was applied to obtain the images of human normal pancreas and SPT of the pancreas without hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, for the purpose of identifying the organization structural, cell morphological, and cytoplasm changing, which were then compared to their corresponding H&E stained histopathological results. Our results showed that high-resolution TPEF imaging of the pancreatic SPT can clearly distinguish the pathological features from normal pancreas in unstained histological sections, and the results are consistent with the histological results. Moreover, we measured the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratios of the pancreatic SPT and normal pancreas to characterize their difference in the cytomorphological feature. It indicated that this technique can achieve the consistent information of pathological diagnosis, and has the potential to substantially improve the optical diagnosis and treatment of the pancreatic SPT without H&E staining in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of pancreas is a rare entity with a low malignant potential. We aimed to identify the safety and the feasibility of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for SPT. METHODS From May 2008 to August 2011, we performed 4 cases of laparoscopic, spleen-preserving, distal pancreatectomies for patients with SPT. We retrospectively collected the demographic characteristics, operative and postoperative details, and follow-up outcomes of the patients. RESULTS Three female patients and 1 male patient with SPT underwent laparoscopic, spleen-preserving, distal pancreatectomy. The average operating time was 200 minutes. The average blood loss was 90 mL. The postoperative course of these patients was uneventful. All patients were followed-up and no local recurrence or metastasis was found. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for patients with SPT is safe and feasible, with preferable operative outcomes, long-term tumor-free survival, and high spleen-preserving rate.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the clinical characteristics and radiological features of solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) and assess surgical therapy strategy. Methods A retrospective review was performed in 62 patients pathologically confirmed of SPT treated between 2003 and 2014. The clinical features, radiological examinations and surgical strategies were analyzed. Results 56 females and 6 males were included in this study, mean age was 26 years old (range: 8–66 years old) with mean size of the tumor was 7.2 cm (range: 3–15 cm), and most tumor were commonly located in the head of pancreas (n = 29). Among all the cases, 3 patients had liver metastasis and underwent resection of SPT and liver metastasis. Furthermore, we performed 29 cases of local tumor excision; other patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, middle pancreatectomy, middle pancreatectomy with splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation, distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection. No patient suffered from lymph node metastases. After median follow-up of 46 months (range: 2–135 months), no mortality or local recurrence or distant metastasis was found. Conclusions Solid pseudopapillary tumor is a latent malignant tumor with excellent prognosis. If feasible, less aggressive resection without regular lymphadenectomy is recommended for treatment of patients with SPT.

The prognosis and clinical characteristics of advanced (malignant) solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas. Tumour Biol 2015; 37:5347-53.

Abstract
Until today, there is no consistency about the prognosis and the diagnostic criteria of the "malignant" pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (m-SPNs). We here made a retrospective study of 26 such cases and try to give a comprehensive description of their pathological characteristics and clinical course. We found out that among those malignant cases, the most common involved extrapancreatic organ was the duodenum, followed by the spleen and the portal vein. The lymph node and the liver metastasis were also seen in 19 % cases, respectively. Most of the patients were female (22/26). Calcification, foamy cytoplasm, and bizarre nuclei of tumor cells were more common in male patients. Every patient underwent surgical resection and had excellent prognosis. There were two patients who had metastasis to the liver 6 years after excision. The recurrence status correlated with the family history of malignant tumor. No patient died of the disease directly during the mean follow-up time of 73.9 months (21-135 months). Our results supported the idea that the prognosis of the advanced stage SPNs was excellent. The surgical resection seemed effectively enough for these patients. However, all the patients need close follow-ups, especially those who had family history of malignant tumors.

Abstract
A 33-year-old female was diagnosed with a solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas and multiple liver metastases at the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Ishikawa Prefectural Central Hospital (Kanazawa, Japan). Distal pancreatectomy and postoperative systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine (GEM) and S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine derivative, was administered, however, liver metastases became enlarged and local recurrence occurred. Therefore, the patient was referred to the Department of Gastroenterologic Surgery at the Graduate School of Medicine (Kanazawa, Japan) for hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy. Oral S-1 (80 mg/m2) was administered as well as HAI chemotherapy with GEM (1,000 mg/standard liver volume). Following 18 cycles, tumor sizes were reduced and 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) examination revealed obvious reduction of tumor FDG uptake. Transarterial tumor embolization (TAE) was performed for the previously unresectable right subphrenic liver tumor, and the other tumors were surgically resected. The resected tumors were diagnosed as liver metastases and a local recurrence of SPT in the postoperative pathological examination, which revealed that the resected tumors were composed of sheets of bland cells, which were positive for CD10, CD56, vimentin, neuron-specific enolase and α-antitrypsin. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient is currently under observation at an outpatient clinic; postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with oral S-1 has continued, and additional TAE is planned. In the future, if the middle segment of the liver becomes enlarged, surgery for the residual right lobe tumor may be possible. This case demonstrates one method of SPT treatment: Preoperative HAI chemotherapy with GEM, plus oral S-1 and TAE. If complete resection can be achieved, the majority of patients with SPT have a favorable prognosis. In patients with unresectable metastases from SPT, it is crucial to conduct systematic multimodal treatment to maximize treatment success.

Abstract
Pancreatic pseudopapillary tumor is an rarely problem. Tumor may be more aggressive at males relatively to females. Complete resection is the main treatment option for these tumors. Introduction Pseudopapillary tumors (PPT) of the pancreas are very rare, comprising 0.3–2.7% of all pancreatic tumors, and they occur mostly in young women. Generally, they are benign, but in rare cases they can enlarge, invade adjacent organs, and metastasize distantly. Radiological assessments and biochemical markers are important for diagnosing tumor characteristics. The main treatment is tumor resection. Presentation of case An 18-year-old female was referred to our department suffering from abdominal discomfort and upper quadrant abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a 6- × 5-cm mass between the pancreatic head and right adrenal gland (Fig. 1). The histological assessment was a solid PPT of the pancreas with intact surgical borders. Discussion PPT are very rare, comprising approximately 5% of cystic pancreatic tumors and ∼1% of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms and present mainly during the second and third decades of life. PPTs are usually indolent tumors. As such, they tend to produce vague nonspecific symptoms or may be detected incidentally on imaging. Complete surgical resection (R0) is the most effective therapy for PPT. Conclusion Although PPT is a very rare, benign tumor, it has the potential to metastasize to adjacent and distant organs. Consequently, they should be detected early, so that they can be treated surgically before malignant conversion.

Abstract
A man in his thirties visited our hospital for an evaluation of a 12×10-mm pancreatic solid tumor that was accidentally detected on computed tomography performed for follow-up of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). We diagnosed the patient with a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) based on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration, and he underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Small SPN tumors appear as solid tumors, without typical features of SPN, making the definitive diagnosis more difficult. The genetic background of FAP patients can predispose them to SPN, and imaging of the pancreas should be performed at prescribed intervals in FAP patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to review clinical and histologic findings of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) in children and determine the predictive factor of the malignancy. METHOD The records of 45 patients (9 males, 36 females) who underwent surgery for SPN in the Asan Medical Center from 1992 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. We analyzed the factors between histologic benign group (n=36) and malignant group (n=9). RESULTS The mean age of children was 14.9±3.15years (range 9-20years). Mean size of the tumor was 6.36±3.61cm, and most common site in the pancreas was the tail (n=23). Three patients had distant metastasis at initial diagnosis. The sites were the liver (n=2) and the omentum (n=1). All patients underwent complete resection, and the median follow up period was 34months. Recurrence (n=4) was more common in the malignant group (p<0.05). We calculated the proportion of solid component by manual volumetry with a CT scan. The median value was 41.5% in benign group and 88.4% in malignant group. On comparative analysis, the proportion of solid component was found to have significant association with malignancy (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Histologic malignant SPN has high risk of recurrence. We should consider more radical resection when finding a predominantly solid tumor in a CT scan.

Abstract
AIM: To review the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of solid pseudopaillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) in the past 20 years.
METHODS: The reports about SPN were serached, and the information relevant to epidemiological features, diagnosis and treatment of SPN, as well as the clinical data were retrieved and analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS: A total of 3688 patients with SPN were reported in China from January 1995 to April 2014. The ratio of males to females was approximately 1:6.65; the average age was 30.11 years. About 39.59% of the patients were distributed in east China. The patients with symptoms accounted for approximately 74.73%; 3.23% of the patients were reported with jaundice. Tumor markers were negative in nearly all the patients. About 29.42% of the patients were diagnosed as SPN prior to surgery. The tumors were observed frequently in the head and neck (40.22%), the body and tail (58.98%) of the pancreas. The main treatment for SPN was surgery, including enucleation (41.12%), pancreatoduodenectomy (23.41%) and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (34.23%). The positive rates of vimentin, α1-antitrypsin (α1-AT) and α1-antichymotrypsin (α1-ACT) in tumor cells were 92.25%, 90.81% and 87.06%, respectively. Postoperative recurrence developed in 175 cases; 17 cases died of SPN.
CONCLUSION: SPN occurs predominantly in young females and is more prevalent in east China. SPN lacks specific symptoms or signs, has diverse imaging manifestations, and can be easily misdiagnosed. Definite diagnosis in most patients relies on pathology and immunohistochemistry. SPN is a neoplasm of low malignant potential. Surgical procedure is the main effective treatment with good prognosis.
