  Background: Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are a relatively rare type of tumor with low-grade malignant potential. Although surgical resection provides a cure in most of cases, the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for tumors with major arterial involvement remains unknown. Case presentation: A 30-year-old man with a preoperative diagnosis of SPN was referred to our department. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a lobulated mass located at the pancreatic body, with a maximum diameter of 11 cm. The celiac artery (CA) and splenic artery (SA) were surrounded (by approximately 270° and 360°, respectively) by an expansively growing tumor, while the common hepatic artery (CHA), superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) were contacted by the tumor for a distance of 26.6, 42...
