VIPoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that secretes vasoactive intestinal polypectide (VIP) and produces a well-defined clinical syndrome characterized by watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, hypochlorhydria and metabolic acidosis. With low incidence, in 90% of cases the VIPoma arise from the pancreas. We present a new case of pancreatic VIPoma with successful resection and benign histology.
