摘要

Background

A solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is one of the rare pancreatic tumors. It usually occurs in young women. The common clinical presentation of this tumor is nonspecific abdominal pain and an abdominal mass. Since it has low malignancy potential, with complete surgical resection, the outcome is excellent.

Case presentation

We report the case of a 12-year-old Black African female who presented with hemorrhagic shock secondary to bleeding from a ruptured pancreatic head mass after she sustained blunt abdominal trauma. The patient underwent surgery, and a mass excision was done. She had a smooth postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 6. The biopsy revealed a solid pseudopapillary tumor.

Conclusion

Although a solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare occurrence in the pediatric age group, it should be considered in female adolescents presenting with a pancreatic mass. Complete surgical resection suffices for the treatment.
