Abstract

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN), also known as Frantz’s tumor is a peculiar pancreatic neoplasm with an unclear pathogenesis. Early surgery often results in a curative effect; however, rare postoperative metastasis can occur. Currently, no standard systemic treatment strategy has been established for metastatic SPN. In this article, we report an older woman with SPN who developed postoperative multiple liver metastases and experienced rapid progression despite sequential systemic therapies.
