A rare case of a large solid pseudopapillary neoplasm with extensive liver metastasis
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) are uncommon pancreatic tumors that primarily affect young females. We report a case of a 24-year-old female diagnosed with SPN and liver metastasis during a routine examination. Imaging revealed an 8-cm pancreatic mass with multiple liver metastases. Histopathology confirmed SPN. Subsequent next-generation sequencing revealed a <i>CTNNB1</i> mutation. The patient underwent a total pancreatectomy with splenectomy, right hemihepatectomy, and intraoperative radiofrequency ablation. Two years after the surgery, she remained complication-free. She is under regular surveillance. This case underscores the importance of early detection and comprehensive management of SPN.
