Abstract

Objectives: Evaluating the early outcomes of surgical treatment for pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors at Ha Noi Medical University. Subjects and methods: A retrospective descriptive study on 12 patients with surgical treatment for pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors at Ha Noi Medical University for 5 years from 2020 to 2025. Results: We performed surgery to treat pancreatic pseudopapillary solid tumors in a total of 12 patients. The mean age was 31.5 ± 5.7 years. All were female. The main symptom that prompted patients to seek medical attention was epigastric pain, accounting for 91.6%. The mean surgical time was 202.5 ± 17 minutes. The mean tumor size was 6.4 ± 2.1 cm. The laparoscopic surgery rate was 67.7%. The mean hospital stay was 9.4 ± 3.4 days. The rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula was 75%, of which grade A pancreatic fistula accounted for 88.9% and grade B pancreatic fistula accounted for 11.1%. Among the 12 patients, no case required intraoperative blood transfusion. No case required reoperation due to postoperative bleeding, and no case died. Postoperative pathological results were all solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas. One case required additional immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis. Conclusion: Surgery is the basic treatment for pancreatic pseudopapillary solid tumors. Depending on the location of the tumor in the head, body or tail of the pancreas and the size of the tumor, there are surgical options suitable for each patient such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, central pancreatectomy, distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation or not.
