Abstract: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas (SPN) is a rare entity, seen mostly in young females. We report 3 cases of SPN over 1 year in Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Deralakatte, Mangalore. All cases presented in asymptomatic young females, underwent surgical resection with 100 % survival. Almost all the cases of SPN have been reported only in the past decade. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. All the three cases reported in under 1 year in a single institution is alarming.
