Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas (SPT)

💢Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the pancreas is a rare nonfunctioning tumor. It is considered a low-grade malignancy that is apparently curable with surgical complete excision in most instances. - 💢SPTs occur most frequently in women in the second and third decades of life. Its recognition is important since it’s considered a low-grade malignancy that is apparently curable with surgical complete excision in most instances, even in the presence of metastatic disease. - 💢The overall 5-years survival is estimated to be more than 90%, including patients with metastatic disease. from @dr.yazan.chaban
