Abstract

Objectives: Results of surgical treatment of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms  (SPN) in the body and tail of the pancreas at Viet Duc Hospital. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 24 patients diagnosed with SPN in the body and tail of the pancreas who were operated at Viet Duc hospital from January 2016 to December 2020. Results: Of the 24 patient; 22 (91.7%) were females and 2 (8.3%) were males, ratio of males/females was 1/11. The mean age of SPN was 24 ± 10.2 years old (range, 7 – 45 years). The main reason for admission was abdominal pain (62.5%). The mean time to diagnosis was 3.7 months. Abdominal pain (75.0%), palpable tumor (8.3%). The computed tomography features showed that the tumor was mainly in the body of the pancreas (45.8%), solid structure (70.8%) and mean diameters of SPN was 5.8 ± 2.56 cm (range, 2.3 – 11.7cm). Surgical treatment included pancreatosplenectomy in 12 patients, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy in 6 pantients (25%), enucleation in 6 (25%) without any complications. Laparoscopic surgery had 4 cases (16.7%). 62.5% of patients had IHC to confirm SPN. Conclusion: SPN are classified as malignant exocrine pancreatic tumors when there is a high degree of dysplasia. Surgical resections remain the mainstay of treatment and survival after surgery is high. Regular monitoring for early detection of recurrence and metastasis also has a timely treatment attitude.
