Solid pseudopapillary tumour (SPN), also known as Frantz tumour is a peculiar tumour of unknown origin. It accounts for 2.5 % of resected pancreatic neoplasms. It is a low-grade malignant potential tumour. In completely resected tumours, it has good survival rate. We report a case series of 4 cases of solid-pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas. In all 4 cases, the tumour was completely resected with enucleation done in one patient and histopathology showed solid pseudopapillary tumour. Patients are in follow-up with no metastasis and in good health. Due to the rarity of the tumour and good survival with complete resection, studies are required for its deeper understanding.
