Abstract
Solid pseudo-papillary tumors (SPT) are rare primary tumors of the pancreas that primarily affect young women. They are of borderline malignancy, and, unlike other pancreatic malignancies, the prognosis after resection is quite good. However, metastatic disease does occur; the liver is the most common site of tumor dissemination. Herein we have reported a case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with multiple, bilateral liver metastases at 3 years after distal pancreatectomy for SPT of the body and tail of the pancreas. The patient underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and is alive and disease-free at 24 months after surgery. In this report, we discuss the treatment of liver metastases from SPT, with an emphasis on the possible role of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
