[The surgical treatment of the solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas: report of 21 cases].
OBJECTIVE
The surgical therapies and prognoses on 21 solid-pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of pancreas were summarized in our center.


METHODS
Twenty-one SPTs were retrospectively studied and divided into two groups, the complete capsular group and the incomplete one. The analyses were performed by SAS6.12 Stat. software.


RESULTS
There are no tumor recurrences in all patients. There are significant difference between operative types in radical resection and the tumor position of the pancreas (P = 0.038). There are also significant differences between the capsular integrity and the course of the diseases (P = 0.029), and the possible malignant cells by the frozen section examination (P = 0.001), and the size of the tumor (P = 0.0004). The judgement on the capsular integrity of the tumor could directly effect the adoptable operative types (P = 0.001).


CONCLUSIONS
The surgical resection is good treatment for the SPT, which has satisfying prognosis.
