ABSTRACT
Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is considered to be a rare pancreatic tumor. These tumors are typically present in women in their third decade of life. The tumors have a low malignant potential. We report a case of 22-year-old female who presented with intermittent abdominal pain of 3 years duration. Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was done as a definitive treatment. The importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment is emphasized.

Hepatic resection for benign pathology is rare. We report our experience in two patients with hepaticolithiasis. One patient underwent left hemihepatectomy with removal of segments II, III and IV for localized Caroli's disease with multiple intrahepatic calculi. The second patient underwent resection of segment II and III with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for right and left intrahepatic calculi with an abscess in the left lobe of the liver and a choledochal cyst.
