Abstract

This article discusses a case of a 64-year-old man who was found to have a pancreatic head mass during a follow-up for colon cancer. The mass was confirmed to be a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) through a biopsy. The tumor had invaded the main pancreatic duct and showed high-grade malignant transformation. Metastases developed in the para-aortic lymph nodes and liver one year after surgery. The article highlights the importance of careful treatment for patients with SPN suspected of having high-grade malignant transformation. [Extracted from the article]
