Core Tip	Preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine- needle tattooing (EUS-FNT) pancreatic body and tail lesion has shown to decrease operative time and facilitate laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. We reported that preoperative EUS-FNT can effectively help localizing non-palpable pancreatic head insulinoma, especially in deep pancreatic parenchymal tissue. EUS-FNT helps precisely localizing the tumor and avoiding pancreatic duct and vascular injury from surgery. Furthermore this technique may help in preserving normal pancreatic tissue, reducing operative time and most importantly minimizing risks of pancreaticoduodenectomy. EUS-FNT represents a safe and useful role for the preoperative localization and surgical planning of the pancreatic head insulinoma.
