Overview
Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Findings on CT scan suggestive of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 include thickened stomach rugal folds, multiple gastric nodules and calcified or cystic pancreatic tumors.
CT
Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors[1]
- CT is used for suspected gastric, enteric and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with pre and post IV iodinated contrast.
- Bowel distension with fluid, either by oral intake (CT enterography) or via an nasojejunal tube (CT enteroclysis), improves detection of primary gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome[2]
- Negative contrast may be used to distend the stomach
- Thickened rugal folds
- Multiple gastric nodules/masses[3][4]
Insulinoma[5]
- They tend to be hyper-attenuating on arterial phase so arterial or pancreatic phased imaging may aid in better detection. Some may show calcification.
Pancreatic Islet Cell Tumors[6]
- Multiphase contrast enhanced thin slice cross-sectional imaging is ideal. Tumors tend to be smaller, hypervascular and may be calcified or cystic.
Gastrinoma[7]
- Gastinomas are usually malignant and as they are frequently multiple and often extrapancreatic (90% located in the gastrinoma triangle) they can be difficult to locate. As such multiphase contrast enhanced thin slice cross-sectional imaging is ideal.
- Tumor size is variable, but the size of pancreatic lesions varies from 3-4 cm.
- The lesions are often hypervascular, so they may be visible on arterial phase CT and angiography.
Glucagonoma[8]
- Tumor size is variable, but most of them are large and have metastasized at the time of diagnosis. Most of them are located in the distal pancreas and are vascular.
- Tumors may be solid or contain central low-attenuation areas on CT.
