Abstract
Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare tumor, first described by Frantz in 1959. It commonly presents in a young female with abdomen pain or as a mass per abdomen. It may be asymptomatic. Spontaneous rupture of SPN is a rare presentation. Case presentation: Here we present a case of acute abdomen due to rupture of SPN in a nineteen year old girl for its rarity. She underwent distal pancreatico-splenectomy. She had an uneventful postoperative period. Conclusion: SPN is an uncommon neoplasm of young females. They usually present with mass per abdomen or abdomen pain. Rupture of SPN is a rare form of presentation.
