Abstract

A 12-year-old girl with no significant medical or surgical history presented to a practicing physician with upper abdominal pain. Her symptom persisted inspite of medication, and she was referred to our institution. Intravenous contrast material-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was performed, and it showed a round well-margined cystic mass (diameter, 50×48 mm) that had a solid component in the border region of the pancreatic tail. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also showed a simple cystic tumor in the pancreatic tail. T1-weighted MRI showed a high-intensity area in the circumference of the tumor ; this was suspected to be intratumor bleeding. Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas was suspected, and laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 13^th postoperative day. Minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic surgery should be considered for benign or borderline tumor of the pancreas.
