Solid pseudopapillary neoplasia of the pancreas is a rare tumor. It accounts for < 1%–2% of exocrine pancreatic tumors. This relatively indolent tumor has the propensity to affect young women. We herein report a case of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in a 24-year-old woman; for which curative distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed. Postoperative period was uneventful, and during a follow-up of 2 years, she remains asymptomatic.
