Abstract

Context: Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare tumor which usually affects young females in their second and third decade of life. Metastasis is very rare after a resection of curative intent. Case report: We report a case of a 65-year-old white female who presented with metastasis to the liver four years after Whipple's resection for a solid-pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas. Conclusions: Solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas can present with metastasis a long time after resection of the primary tumor. Long term close follow up of these patients should be done. The survival rate even after liver metastasis is good.
