Core Tip
Core Tip: In the present study, we reviewed 22 solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) patients to investigate the malignant behavior and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration between different histopathologic features. The results showed that invasion detected under microscope was associated with the malignant behavior and TAM infiltration. The phenomenon of increased infiltration of TAMs, especially M2-like macrophages in the invasion feature, might help us to investigate the underlying mechanism of TAM-mediated SPT malignant behavior, as well as to potentially treat recurrent and metastatic SPT by targeting TAMs.
