Highlights • SPT is rare, but treatable pancreatic tumor.• While clinical signs and symptoms are relatively nonspecific, characteristic findings on imaging and histology separate these tumors from the more malignant pancreatic tumors.• The identification of a large bulky pancreatic tumour in a child or woman should raise suspicions of solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas.• Surgical excision offers the best chance for cure and should always be attempted irrespective of the magnitude of resection involved.• Patients with SPT have an excellent prognosis after surgical excision. The prognosis is favorable even in the presence of distant metastasis.
