%X Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare tumours with distinctive clinicopathological features. We present a case of a 51-year-old female with a large cystic neoplasm involving the entire pancreas, initially presenting with abdominal pain. Diagnostic imaging revealed a well-defined heterogeneously enhancing mixed solid cystic lesion in the pancreas. Surgical exploration confirmed a lesion in the entire pancreas, prompting total pancreatectomy with duodenectomy. Postoperative histopathology and immunohistochemistry supported the diagnosis of SPN. Herein, we discuss SPN's clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, surgical management, and pathological characteristics.
