Abstract

To describe the clinical, radiological and surgical features of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. We conducted a retrospective, observational study evaluating the multi-institutional clinical, radiological and surgical patients with a diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas undergoing surgical treatment. We identified eight patients in three hospitals in the state of Amazonas, seven females, six under the age of 30. The neoplasia predominated in the head of the pancreas. Five patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, one enucleation, one distal pancreatectomy, and one was considered unresectable. Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas predominated in young female patients, predominantly located in the pancreatic head.
