Pancreatic Insulinoma Diagnosed after 25 years and Conservative Management of Pancreatic Fistula after Insulinoma Surgery

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Insulinomas are the rare insulin secreting tumours of pancreatic origin. Their diagnosis is often challenging and delayed due to non-specific and variable symptoms of hypoglycemia. Once diagnosis is made, an appropriate surgical approach is required to prevent post-operative complications. The major challenge for surgeons remains the increased rate of post-operative complications after insulinoma surgery. We present a unique case of insulinoma diagnosed after 25 years and management of post-operative complications of fistula formation after its surgery.
