Mind the tributary of the canal: Are stents necessary for insulinoma enucleation in proximity to a prominent Duct of Santorini: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Rationale: We describe a case of insulinoma located extremely close to the accessory pancreatic duct (APD), but away from the main pancreatic duct (MPD). Previous studies showed insulinoma enucleation is a safe procedure for small benign tumors >3 mm distant from the MPD. However, in this case enucleation of the tumor led to unanticipated APD injury and grade B post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF). We provide detailed records of clinical management and argue that enucleation of tumors near APD needs to be … Show more

“…However, guidelines from the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network suggest that asymptomatic NF-PNETs measuring less than 2cm may be safely observed without active surgical intervention ( 17 , 18 ). In contrast, current guidelines generally advocate for surgical intervention in the case of insulinomas, while somatostatin analogs are increasingly being utilized for the treatment of well-differentiated, low-grade F-PNETs ( 19 , 20 ). Consequently, the timely and precise diagnosis and prognostication of both NF-PNETs and insulinomas are of paramount importance in guiding treatment strategies.…”
