Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare form of pancreatic tumor, constituting around 1%- 2% of total exocrine pancreatic tumours. Virginia Frantz discovered the tumor in 1959. It is often asymptomatic, posing diagnostic challenges. However, abdominal pain, discomfort, and vomiting can be observed in a few. In the present case, a 67-year-old male presented with abdominal pain for 2 months. Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) showed, a 17*16*16 cm well-encapsulated heterogeneously enhancing lesion found at the head of the pancreas with atrophic body and tail of the pancreas, and dilated main pancreatic duct. The patient was treated by surgical resection through pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). Subsequent, histopathological analysis revealed to be solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas. The patient has been on a 2-years follow up without recurrence.
