Surgical management of insulinoma. 1979

M G Wertkin, and D A Dreiling

Three patients with insulinoma have been presented. Accurate diagnosis, localization and multiplicity are possible employing angiography, sonography, CAT and insulin concentration determinations of specimens obtained by percutaneous, transhepatic simultaneous sampling of the portal, splenic and superior mesenteric veins. Meticulous exploration of the gland will permit enucleation rather than major resection to be a feasible solution and the operation of choice.

D007516	Adenoma, Islet Cell	A benign tumor of the pancreatic ISLET CELLS. Usually it involves the INSULIN-producing PANCREATIC BETA CELLS, as in INSULINOMA, resulting in HYPERINSULINISM.

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).
