OBJECTIVE Our experience with the laparoscopic treatment of pancreatic insulinomas is reported. METHODS Four patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of insulinoma were treated between January 2000 and September 2005. RESULTS All the patients were laparoscopically approached to attempt the tumor enucleation. In three cases complete enucleation was possible; the remaining case was converted to perform the resection of the middle portion of the pancreas. One patient developed a pancreatic fistula that closed spontaneously. In all cases histological evaluation of the tumor showed benign islet cell tumor. Blood glucose levels returned to normality. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic enucleation of pancreatic insulinoma is a feasible and safe technique.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
