Total laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with Roux-Y pancreaticojejunostomy for solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

There is controversy regarding the optimal surgical approach for pancreatic lesions in the center of the pancreas. Duodenum-preserving pancreatic cental resection compared with pancreaticoduodenectomy is technically more challenging, but preserves more functional pancreatic tissue.

Patient concerns

A 34-year-old woman was admitted to our department on March 15, 2017. Computed tomographic's and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography's diagnosis was a solitary tumor 3.0 × 2.2-cm lesion located in border between pancreatic neck and body. The patient's condition was good and symptomless, without any disease history. Physical examination and routine blood investigations were normal. All pancreatic malignant tumor biological markers were negative.
