Pancreatitis in Pediatric Patients with Pancreatic Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasms: A Single Center Experience

In brief

This single-center study examines solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN), rare low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors primarily affecting children and young adults. The research analyzes clinical characteristics, genetic profiles, and surgical outcomes in pediatric patients who underwent SPN resection.

• Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms are the most common low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors in pediatric and young adult populations.
• SPNs carry a favorable prognosis with good outcomes following surgical resection.
• Pancreatitis may be a presenting feature in pediatric patients with solid pseudopapillary neoplasms.
• Complete surgical resection remains the primary treatment approach for pediatric pancreatic SPNs.
