Abstract :Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas are rare lesions, classified as borderline malignant tumors. They predominantly affect younger females and have more favorable outcomes compared to other pancreatic tumors. While patients may present with non-specific symptoms, the use of imaging modalities has led to an increase in incidental cases. These neoplasms are typically diagnosed using radiological imaging methods due to their characteristic features. Unlike pancreatic adenocarcinomas, surgical treatment results in lower morbidity rates and disease-free survival rates above ninety percent. This study aims to report the clinical, histopathological, and prognostic features of five cases of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas and review the current literature.
