Insulinoma: A Recurrent Pancreatic Tumor Amendable to Computed Tomography–Guided Ethanol-Lipiodol Injection

Insulinomas are rare, with an annual incidence of 1–4 people per mission. Insulinomas are the most common functioning endocrine neoplams of the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasound has both diagnostic and therapeutic yield in undifferentiated pancreatic tumors. We present a case of a recurrent insulinoma...

Sumario:Insulinomas are rare, with an annual incidence of 1–4 people per mission. Insulinomas are the most common functioning endocrine neoplams of the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasound has both diagnostic and therapeutic yield in undifferentiated pancreatic tumors. We present a case of a recurrent insulinoma, refractory to surgical and medical management diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasound. Our case uniquely conveys a successful, alternative approach to addressing symptomatic insulinomas refractory to surgical or medical management through computed tomography–guided percutaneous ethanol-lipiodol injection.
