Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnosis and management of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas.Methods A retrospective clinical analysis was made on 21 cases of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas admitted from June 1994 to June 2003.Results Abdominal pain was the major complains in 13 cases , 7 cases had palpable abdominal mass.Imaging examination can show the abdominal mass clearly, but diagnosis can not be defined.There were 12 cases whose tumors were located in pancreatic head (4 underwent Whipple procedures and 8 tumor enucleations) and 9 cases with tumors in pancreatic tail (all underwent body and tail resection plus splenectomy).The average diameter of tumor was 9.5 cm (3-20).One case had liver metastasis.Diagnosis was proved by frozen pathology during operation in 14 cases, and other 3 cases initially diagnosed as insulinomas and other malignant tunors, had definite diagnosis by postoperative paraffin section and enzyme labeling.Enzyme labeling examinations showed that there were 14 cases of NSE positive in 15 cases, 8 cases of Vimentin positive in 10 cases and 7 cases of PAS positive in 8 cases.CK, EMA and CHG A were negative.Eighteen cases were followed up (85.7%) with a median period of 24 months(1～60) without tumor recurrence.Conclusion Huge pancreatic masses of pancreas in young females should suggest the diagnosis of solid-pseudopapillary tumors.Aggressive surgical therapy can result in good prognosis in these patients.
