Abstract

Objective: Clinicopathological features and surgical outcomes in patients with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas were analysed.

Methods: Data regarding clinicopathological features, surgery and outcome for patients with SPN were retrospectively collected and analysed. Patients were followed-up by telephone interview.

Results: The study included 102 patients (89 females/13 males), 99 of whom underwent surgical resection. A total of 89 patients (87.3%) were followed-up (mean duration 26.98 months, range 2-95 months); 86 (96.6%) had no relapse or metastasis.

Conclusions: Surgical resection is the primary therapy for SPN, and results in a good prognosis.
