Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare exocrine tumour of the pancreas, and SPN in combination with preeclampsia during pregnancy is even rarer.
METHODS: In this paper, we report a case of SPN combined with preeclampsia during pregnancy and sudden rupture of a giant retroperitoneal SPN during a caesarean section, which resulted in life-threatening intra-abdominal haemorrhage. After exclusion of obstetric factors, a rapid response team was activated, multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) was carried out, and the patient was treated promptly and appropriately by resection of the giant retroperitoneal tumour, partial resection of the body and tail of the pancreas, and abdominal drainage.
UNASSIGNED: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SPN combined with preeclampsia during pregnancy, and a rapid and timely MDT could have ensured the patient's life.
CONCLUSIONS: When dealing with a pregnant woman with an acute abdomen, the obstetrician should communicate fully with the woman to ensure that the most likely diagnosis is obtained. In the event of an unexpected accident during a caesarean section, it is important to remain calm, activate the Rapid Response Team and seek an MDT to ensure the life of the mother.
