Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas has been frequently reported in the past two decades. Surgery remains the treatment of choice, with the liver being the most frequent site of metastases.
The study aimed to present an option of surgical treatment for an 18-year-old female patient with a solid lesion in the body and tail of the pancreas associated with metastatic lesions in both hepatic lobes.
Two surgical procedures were scheduled. In the first procedure, body-caudal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed, associated with the resection of three lesions of the liver's left lobe. A right hepatectomy was performed 6 months later, progressing without complications.
The patient continues without clinical complaints on the last return, and abdominal magnetic resonance performed 28 months after the second procedure does not show liver or abdominal cavity lesions.
The knowledge on the biological behavior of tumors, evolution, and recurrence risks allows the indication of more rational surgical techniques that best benefit patients.
