Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas usually shows a benign clinical course. However, sometimes, distant metastasis may occur. Even in such case, the prognosis is good only if metastatic lesions are resected completely. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with SPT of the pancreas and unresectable synchronous liver metastasis who underwent successful living donor liver transplantation. For 2 years, she has been disease free. This is the first report on transplantation to relieve liver metastasis of SPT.Entities:
