Abstract

Solid Pseudopapillary Tumors are rare pancreaticneoplasms first identified as Hammoudi or Franztumors, later classified by the WHO as SPTs in1996. These tumors primarily affect young non-Caucasian women, with a male-to-female ratioof 1:11. Surgical excision remains the standardtreatment. Solid Pseudopapillary Tumors (SPTs)within the pancreas are rare, accounting for less than3% of pancreatic neoplasms. They predominantlyoccur in young women and are characterized by lowmalignant potential with high surgical cure rates.This report details the case of a 14-year-old girlin Bangladesh undergoing a successful Whipple’sprocedure for an SPT.

This case report aims to share our unique findings, which may contribute to understanding and knowledge of this rare medical condition and its treatment options.
