Solid pseudopapillary neoplasia (SPN) is a rare tumor with low malignant potential, and it is
mostly located in the tail of the pancreas. It usually affects young women. Although most of the cases are
asymptomatic, they mostly apply to the clinic with non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain. The gold
standard in diagnosis is a histopathological examination. Surgical resection is usually performed, and the
survival rate after resection is high. Our aim in this study was to examine the postoperative conditions in
patients diagnosed with SPN. In this study, seven patients diagnosed with SPN were identified. The mean age of the patients
was 32.86 years, and 6 of them were female. Five cases presented with abdominal pain, and 2 cases were
diagnosed incidentally. Computed tomography was performed on 5 patients, and magnetic resonance imaging
was performed on 3 patients. Distal pancreatectomy was performed in all patients, and splenectomy was
performed in 6 patients. The mean follow-up time was 45.6 months. Postoperative complications, recurrences,
and metastases were not observed in any patient; one patient could not be reached
