Peritoneal metastatic disease in a child after excision of a solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas: a unique case.
We present a 15-year-old girl with peritoneal metastases from a solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas, which had been excised 6 years previously. This is the third paediatric case with metastases to be reported and the fourth patient with peritoneal carcinomatosis.
