Abstract

A solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare tumor of the pancreas. Concomitant SPN with urogenital anomalies is a very rare presentation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 16-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of abdominal pain 30 days back. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas was diagnosed with the aid of ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis. Incidentally, concomitant left unilateral renal agenesis and bicornuate uterus were also detected in radiological findings. The patient underwent spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and SPN was confirmed with the histopathological report. DISCUSSION: Symptomatic SPN patients present with an abdominal mass and pain or very rarely jaundice. Most of the SPNs are benign. Complete surgical excision results in more than 95% cure. SPN with concomitant urogenital anomalies is extremely rare, and their concurrent occurrence can be better attributed to Wnt signaling pathway owing to their similar pathogenic mechanism. CONCLUSION: The solid pseudopapillary tumor has an excellent prognosis if timely resected. Proper evaluation of the patient with imaging is necessary to suspect and diagnose SPN who has urogenital anomalies and vice versa.
