Outcome after surgery for solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumors in children: Report from the TREP project—Italian Rare Tumors Study Group

Abstract

Surgery is the best therapeutic option for these tumors; hence, complete resection is mandatory. Extensive resections, including cephalic duodenopancreatectomy, are safe when performed in specialized centers. Long-term follow-up should be aimed to detect tumor recurrence and to evaluate residual pancreatic function.
