Overview
Transabdominal ultrasound has low sensitivity varying between 0 to 66% in detecting insulinoma. The sensitivity increases with the use of more invasive technique including endoscopic ultrasound (93%) and intra-operative ultrasound (86%). Hypo-echoic lesions and hypervascular mass are seen on the ultrasound.
Transabdominal Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma. The sensitivity varies from 0 to 66%. Smaller tumors are difficult to detect especially those on the tail of the pancreas. Findings on a trans-abdominal ultrasound suggestive of insulinoma include:[1]
- Low echogenicity
- Hypervascularity on the doppler
- An ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of malignant insulinoma, which include:
Invasive Ultrasound
Endoscopic Ultrasound
This is an invasive ultrasound which can be done pre-operatively. The use has been increased with the increase in sensitivities from 40 to 93%, more accurate in diagnosing pancreatic head insulinomas. It is supported as the primary diagnostic modality for the diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (which includes insulinoma). The advantages include:[1][2][3]
- Visualization of smaller tumors (2mm)
- Detection of invasion and local metastasis
- Higher spatial resolutions
The disadvantages are:
- Invasiveness
- High cost
- Availabilty and expertise

Intra-operative Ultrasound
The use was introduced in 1981 and used to localize non-palpable lesions and tumors which are in close proximity to pancreatic and bile ducts. They can localize the tumors in 86% of cases when performed during an open or laparoscopic surgery. [4][5]
