AbstractSolid Pseudopapillary Tumour (SPT) is a very rare tumour of the pancreas. A 13-year girl presented to us with the complaint of upper abdominal pain and non-bilious vomiting for 15 days. Preoperative diagnosis of SPT involving the body of the pancreas was made by CT scan and ultrasound- guided Trucut biopsy. A sparingly rare procedure of central pancreatectomy with distal pancreatico-jejunostomy was performed. This procedure offers excellent results in benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic neck and body tumours. In addition, it preserves functional elements of the pancreas and also eliminates the infective and haematological effects of splenectomy. Key Words: Solid pseudopapillary tumour, Central pancreatectomy, Pancreatic tumours.
