Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas (SPN) is a rare entity. It is almost exclusively seen in females within the second and third decades of life with only small minority affecting children. Due to the paucity of the number of cases seen, the natural history of the disease is not fully understood. SPN tumors of the pancreas are usually found incidentally and usually have an excellent prognosis. We herein present a case of a 33-year-old lady diagnosed with SPN, who presented with abdominal fullness, two weeks post cesarean section.
胰腺实性假乳头状瘤(SPN)是一种罕见的疾病。几乎仅见于二三十岁的女性,仅有少数病例累及儿童。由于所见病例数量稀少,该疾病的自然史尚未完全明了。胰腺SPN肿瘤通常是偶然发现的,且预后通常良好。我们在此报告一例33岁女性,在剖宫产术后两周因腹部胀满被诊断为SPN。
