Abstract:
Objective To summarize the diagnosis and surgical therapeutic experience of insulinoma.Methods The clinical data of 130 patients with insulinoma confirmed by pathologic examination from 1966 to 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.Results All the patients had Whipple's triad.37.7％ were once misdiagnosed.Only 43.8 ％ were diagnosed correctly within one year after the onset of symptoms.The average time of evolution was 5.2 years.Ultrasonography,CT,MRI and ASVS were able to localize tumor in 32.9％,70.6％,70.3％ and 88.9％ of the cases,respectively.There were 121 cases (93.1％) of single insulinoma,4 cases (3.1％)of multiple insulinomas,and 5 cases(3.8％)of hyperplasia.127cases(97.7 ％)were benign and 3 cases (2.3 ％)were malignant insulinoma.All the 130 cases underwent surgery,among whom 89 cases were cured by enucleation of tumor.The principal postoperative complications were pancreatic fistula(19.2％) and pancreatitis(3.9％).Conclusions Whipple's triad was with great significance to diagnose insulinoma.Multislice spiral CT is the first choice for preoperative localization of insulinoma and ASVS is an important complementary measure for localizing insulinomas not detected by CT or MRI.Simple enucleation is the most common surgical method.
