ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the surgical treatment and prognosis of solid pseudo papillary tumor of the pancreas. Methods The clinical data of 45 patients with solid pseudo papillary tumor of the pancreas were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical treatment was performed in all cases,including 11 cases of local excision of the pancreas,20 cases of resection of the pancreatic body and tail,5 cases of resection of the pancreatic body,tail plus spleen,and 9 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results A total of 43 ca-ses were followed up for 6 ~ 160 months,with an average of(41. 5 ± 1. 5)months. There were 8 cases of dyspepsia,2 cases of pancreatic fistula,2 cases of pleural effusion,2 cases of incision liquefaction and in-fection,and 1 case of early hemorrhage of the digestive tract. All patients were cured by conservative treat-ment. No metastasis,recurrence or death occurred after the operation. Conclusion The pseudo papillary tumor of the pancreas is a potential low grade malignant tumor which mainly appears in females. Surgery is the only radical treatment and its prognosis is generally good.
