@entity5 @entity1 @entity788 @entity3
INTRODUCTION: Solid-pseudopapillary @entity5 (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare @entity5 , generally characterized by a well-encapsulated mass. The aim of the current study was to analyse the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes of @entity1 with SPT. In this study, we report our clinical experience with 16 cases of SPTs. METHODS: Sixteen @entity1 who underwent surgery for pathologically confirmed SPT were included. Data of the @entity1 were reviewed from the prospectively recorded database. @entity1 ' demographics, laboratory values, clinical presentation, radiological imaging findings, surgical treatment, perioperative complications, pathological features, post-operative course, and long-term survival were collected and analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed using the computer program Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 for Windows. RESULTS: The @entity5 ranged from 2 to 11 cm in diameter and were located in the head in ten @entity1 (62.5%), the neck in two @entity1 (12.5%), and the body or tail in four @entity1 (25%). All @entity1 were @entity1 whose ages ranged from 21 to 79 years (mean age was 41.62    15.08). @entity1 had resection margins free of @entity5 resections and there were no preoperative or postoperative mortalities. There was no recurrence or @entity3 after the surgical resection. All @entity1 were alive at a mean follow-up of 49.06    29.53 months (range 6 to 99). CONCLUSION: SPT is a rare @entity788 with a low malignant potential, and is common in young @entity1 . If SPT is diagnosed before surgery, complete surgical resection, generally enucleation is the most effective therapy for SPT.
