Introduction
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare, low malignant tumor seen in young females. The treatment is complete resection and is usually associated with excellent long-term prognosis.
Recently, an international consensus on precision anatomy for minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) in adults was established [1]. Although the safety and feasibility of MIDP for SPN in the pediatric population has also been reported [2], no standardized procedure for children has been described to date.
We report a 12-year-old girl with an incidental SPN located in the pancreatic tail who successfully underwent an R0 resection by laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy under the concept of precision anatomy.
