Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas represent less than 10% of pancreatic tumors, comprising a range of benign, borderline and malignant, according to WHO. Within these tumors is important solid pseudopapillary tumor, despite its low incidence worldwide (1-2% of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas), and be considered of low malignant potential, considered borderline. However, despite these features, are invasive tumors, with the ability to spread locally or remotely up to 15%. It has been described radical surgical resection as treatment of choice for this disease; pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic head tumor and Distal pancreatectomy with or without splenectomy, for pancreatic body and/or tail tumor. About this rare cystic neoplasm of the pancreas, we report two (2) cases evaluated and treated by the Digestive tract disease department at the Oncology Hospital Service of IVSS, during this year, with satisfactory results.
