Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic neoplasm with low malignant potential. There has been only two reported cases of recurrence that occurred more than 10 years after resection of the primary tumour. We report a case of liver metastasis diagnosed 10 years after resection of a primary solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas to illustrate the importance of long-term follow-up of this condition.

胰腺假乳頭狀腫瘤是一種屬低度惡性的罕見胰腺腫瘤。文獻中只有兩宗原發腫瘤切除後十年再次復發的病例。本文報告一宗胰腺假乳頭狀腫瘤切除十年後出現肝轉移的病例，以說明對於類似病例進行長期隨訪的重要性。
