Solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasms (SPEN) of the pancreas are rare pancreatic tumors described by the WHO as low-grade malignant tumors. They tend to affect young women in the second or third decade of life and rarely affect children or men. Due to their indolent nature, SPENs are most frequently discovered incidentally on physical examination or imaging for other reasons. An alternating solid and pseudopapillary architecture is characteristic of these tumors, which makes prompt radiological detection possible. Though SPENs are considered to have a relatively favorable prognosis, they have garnered attention in recent years due to an apparent increase in incidence. Current literature has also demonstrated a risk of metastasis or recurrence following surgical resection, emphasizing the need for close follow-up post-operatively. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ competence in selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, appropriately managing solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasms of the pancreas, and fostering effective interprofessional teamwork to improve outcomes.
