Core Tip |
Pancreatic VIPoma is an extremely rare tumor accounting for less than 2% of endocrine pancreatic neoplasms. While cross-sectional imaging findings are usually not specific, exact localization of the tumor by means of either computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) is pivotal for surgical planning. We report the case of a 70 years old female with a two years history of watery diarrhoea who was found to have a solid, inhomogeneously enhancing lesion at the level of the pancreatic tail at Gadolinium-enhanced MR. The tumor had been prospectively overlooked at a contrast-enhanced multi-detector CT but it was subsequently confirmed by somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy. The patient first underwent a successful symptomatic treatment with somatostatin analogues and was then submitted to a distal pancreasectomy with splenectomy. |
