Abstract:
Objective To discuss the diagnosis and surgical treatment of insulinoma. Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with insulinoma were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 32 patients, 19 patients were performed with simple tumor enucleation, 10 patients with pancreatic body and tail resection, 3 patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results In this study, 20 cases were diagnosed and localized the tumor by type-B abdominal ultrasonic and enhanced spiral CT before operation and 12 cases by intraoperative type-B ultrasonic. Within all patients,9 tumors located in the head of pancreas, 15 tumors in the neck , 8 tumors in the tail. The clinical symptoms in 32 cases disappeared after operation with 2 cases followed by pancreatic leakage. Of all 32 cases with insulinoma,28 tumors were diagnosed as benign and the other 4 as malignant. Conclusions The mainly clinical manifestation of insulinoma is typical whipple triad. Preoperative qualitative diagnosis is practicable according to the clinical symptom and laboratory examination. Combined imaging examinations might be helpful in improving the positive test rates. Intraoperation exploration and ultrasonography are the chief methods for the tumor localization. Site, size, number and depth of the tumor are the key points determining the surgical method style.
