Preoperative detection of functional somatostatin receptors in a patient with an insulinoma

Octreotide is used in patients with insulinomas to treat hypoglycemia, and somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 expression is important for its efficacy. We report a case of insulinoma in a 50‐year‐old woman that responded to an octreotide test, showed accumulation in somatostatin scintigraphy, and was po...

Sumario:Octreotide is used in patients with insulinomas to treat hypoglycemia, and somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 expression is important for its efficacy. We report a case of insulinoma in a 50‐year‐old woman that responded to an octreotide test, showed accumulation in somatostatin scintigraphy, and was positive for SSTR2A on immunostaining.
