title: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas head in a pregnant woman: safe pancreaticoduodenectomy postpartum.
abstract: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare and typically arise in young women. The optimal management of a pregnant woman suspected of having an SPN of the pancreas head is unclear. We report such a case where close monitoring for tumor growth was done during pregnancy and a successful pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed after term delivery.
