Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for insulinoma. The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of insulinoma at diagnosis.[1][2]

Surgery

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for benign and resectable malignant insulinoma. It can be 100% curative in experienced surgical hands.

Benign Tumors

  • Small well-encapsulated, solitary tumors:[1][2][3]Tumors is localised with palpation in 70 % cases during surgery. Intraoperative ultrasound(IOUS) localizes in 86% of times. Palpation and IOUS together localizes tumor in 83-98% cases.[4][5]
Insulinoma. By Edward Alabraba et al. - Pancreatic insulinoma co-existing with gastric GIST in the absence of neurofibromatosis-1. World Journal of Surgical Oncology 2009, 7:18doi:10.1186/1477-7819-7-18, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6686376
  • Surgical resection is treatment of choice. Minimal invasive surgery such as laparscopic surgery is preferred especially for small and solitary benign insulinomas.
  • Enucleation
  • Partial pancreatectomy
  • Distal pancreatectomy
  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy[6]
  • Multiple, unencapsulated, >4 cm in diameter, and involves or is near the main pancreatic duct:
  • Radical resection
  • Insulinoma which are asssociated with MEN1, excision of tumor found in the head of the pancreas plus a distal subtotal pancreatectomy is recommended.[7]

Malignant Tumors

  • Aggressive surgical resection, including extended pancreatic resection with lymph nodes, liver resection, and/or liver transplantation
  • Post-surgical chemoembolization or radiofrequency ablation of tumors to control hypoglycemia
  • Unresectable tumors
  • Octreotide administration
  • Continous glucose monitoring
  • Radiofrequecy ablation
  • Embolization
  • Intra-arterial chemotherapy

Indications

  • Repeated and prolonged symptoms of hypoglycemia
