A systematic review of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms: are these rare lesions?

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to determine if there had been any change in the number of solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) cases detected and their evaluation or management over time.A systematic review of SPN was performed of all articles published in English in PubMed and Scopus.A total of 2744 patients with SPN were identified in 484 studies published between 1961 and 2012; 87.8% of the cases were reported between 2000 and 2012. A total of 2408 (87.8%) were females, and the mean age was 28.5 (SD, 13.7) years. The most common symptom was abdominal pain in 63.6% of the cases and incidentally detected in 38.1% of the cases. There were 2285 patients who underwent pancreatic resection. The mean tumor size was 8.6 (SD, 4.3) cm. Follow-up was reported for 1952 (90.5%) patients, with a mean follow-up of 36.1 (SD, 32.8) months. Disease-free survival was documented in 1866 (95.6%) patients with recurrence in 86 (4.4%) patients; the median time to recurrence was 50.5 months.The number of SPNs reported in the literature has seen a 7-fold increase in the number of cases reported since 2000 compared with before. Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms continue to be primarily found in young women and present with nonspecific symptoms. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment with an excellent long-term prognosis.

Project description:Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of pancreas is a rare pancreatic neoplasm with a low metastatic potential. Up to 10% of patients with localized disease at presentation will develop systemic metastases, usually in the peritoneum or the liver. Due to the rarity of SPNs and the overall excellent prognosis, reliable prognostic factors to predict malignant biological behavior remain undetermined. Therefore, we aimed to define clinical, histological, and microRNA patterns that are associated with metastatic disease. We conducted a retrospective single center study on all patients operated for SPN of pancreas between 1995 and 2018. Clinical and pathological data were collected, and expression patterns of 2578 human microRNAs were analyzed using microRNA array (Affimetrix 4.1) in normal pancreases (NPs), localized tumors (LTs), and metastatic tumors (MTs). The diagnosis of SPN was confirmed in 35 patients who included 28 females and 3 males, with a mean age of 33.8 ± 13.9 years. The only clinical factor associated with metastases was tumor size (mean tumor size 5.20 ± 3.78 in LT versus 8.13± 1.03 in MT, p < 0.012). Microscopic features of malignancy were not associated with metastases, nor were immunohistochemical stains, including the proliferative index KI67. Higher expressions of miR-184, miR-10a, and miR-887, and lower expressions of miR-375, miR-217, and miR-200c were observed in metastatic tissues on microarray, and validated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Hierarchal clustering demonstrated that the microRNA expression pattern of MTs was significantly different from that of LTs. The only clinical factor associated with metastases of SPN of pancreas was tumor size. Histological features and immunohistological staining were not predictive of metastases. A panel of six microRNAs was differentially expressed in MTs, and these findings could potentially be used to predict tumor behavior. Validation of these results is needed in larger series.
