摘　　要：BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm(SPN)of the pancreas is a rare epithelial tumor that primarily affects young women.Since the condition is often asymptomatic or presents with non-specific symptoms,its diagnosis can be difficult.CASE SUMMARY This report details the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with a 2-year history of abdominal pain,with no significant findings during physical examination.Abdominal ultrasound revealed a well-defined heterogeneous solidcystic mass in the epigastric region,likely originating from the tail of the pancreas.A subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan indicated a welldefined cystic lesion with an enhancing solid component and capsule in the tail of the pancreas,suggestive of a cystic neoplasm.The patient underwent an open distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy,and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SPN of the pancreas.CONCLUSION This case highlights the risk of SPN in adolescent girls and the necessity of early diagnosis and intervention for better outcomes.
