“…A number of other more common pregnancy disorders have to be excluded before a physician should consider SPT as a possibility (39). Safe monitoring of the tumor growth rate and the possibility of rupture is suggested by some authors (40). Others support surgical excision of the SPT, since this tumor is responsive to progesterone blood levels (39,41,42).…”

Abstract. Background: Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas are a rare occurrence, not exceeding 1-2% of all exocrine pancreatic tumors. SPT Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare pathologic entity first described by V.K. Frantz in 1959 (1). Most SPTs of pancreas have been described as benign in nature, although 10-15% of SPT of pancreas shows malignant behavior and metastases (2). SPT of pancreas is a rare neoplasm that accounts for less than 2% of exocrine 501

“…SPNs have low malignancy potential but can be locally invasive and spontaneously rupture. Distant organ and lymph node metastases can be seen in only 5–10% and 2% of cases, respectively [ 8 ]. Thus, surgical intervention is recommended for definitive diagnosis and prevention of complications [ 7 , 9 , 10 ].…”

“…SPNs have a low malignancy potential, but surgical resection is recommended because they can be locally invasive and can spontaneously rupture. In addition, distant organ and lymph node metastases can be seen in 5–10% and 2% of cases, respectively [ 8 ]. Even in the presence of malignancy complete excision and surgical debulking can provide a cure for the disease and prolong survival [ 7 , 9 , 10 ].…”

A 26-year-old primigravid patient, at 35 weeks and 2 days of gestation, was referred to Hacettepe University Hospital for pancreatic mass, giant cervical myoma, maternal systemic lupus erythematosus, thrombocytopenia, and onset of preterm labor. At 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation (6 days after admission to the hospital), regular uterine contractions started and cervical dilatation with effacement was observed. Because of breech presentation and giant cervical myoma, a cesarean section was performed on the primigravid patient under general anesthesia. Four months after the birth, subtotal pancreatectomy, partial gastrectomy, duodenectomy, cholecystectomy, and omentectomy (Whipple procedure) were performed. The pathologic diagnosis was of a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas; the patient was discharged from hospital after ten days.
