Overview
Surgical removal of the insulinoma is the treatment of choice and resection of metastatic liver disease.
Surgery
- Surgical removal of the insulinoma is the treatment of choice:[1]
- Enucleation of the insulinoma: just removal of the mass out of the pancreas with thin margins between tumor and pancreas
- Partial distal pancreatectomy: in this procedure, the body and tail of the pancreas are removed.[2]
- Distal subtotal pancreatectomy is recommended for patients with insulinoma related to MEN1.[3]
- Recurrence is more common in the patients with MEN1.
- Hepatic resection is indicated for the treatment of metastatic liver disease if the general condition is good. Resection should be considered only for patients with a limited number of hepatic metastases.[4]
