The surgical treatment of the solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas: report of 21 cases / 中华外科杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The surgical therapies and prognoses on 21 solid-pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of pancreas were summarized in our center.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-one SPTs were retrospectively studied and divided into two groups, the complete capsular group and the incomplete one. The analyses were performed by SAS6.12 Stat. software.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There are no tumor recurrences in all patients. There are significant difference between operative types in radical resection and the tumor position of the pancreas (P = 0.038). There are also significant differences between the capsular integrity and the course of the diseases (P = 0.029), and the possible malignant cells by the frozen section examination (P = 0.001), and the size of the tumor (P = 0.0004). The judgement on the capsular integrity of the tumor could directly effect the adoptable operative types (P = 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The surgical resection is good treatment for the SPT, which has satisfying prognosis.</p>
