Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) is mostly seen in young women in the second and third decades of life; it is quite uncommon in children. In this review, to deal with the current medical experience with SPTP in pediatric age group was aimed. In childen, SPTP demonstrates different clinical features. Complete resection is curative in most patients. In children, the optimal surgical strategy for SPTP is still obscure. Instead of radical resections, limited pancreatic resections, such as enucleations, with negative surgical margins should be attempted. For unresectable or recurrent tumours, cisplatin-based chemotherapy might be considered.
