Abstract

A case of somatostatinoma of the pancreas head is reported. A 64-year-old woman underwent an abdominal computed tomography because she was pointed out occult blood of the urine, and was discovered to have a tumor of the pancreas head incidentally. Imaging examination such as abdominal angiography showed a hypervascular tumor. We suspected endocrine tumor and examined hormone levels in the blood. Serum somatostatin level was high. Pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was performed with a preoperative diagnosis of somatostatinoma. The tumor was 3.5×3.5×2.3cm in size, and was somatostatin antibody positive in an immunohistological study.
