title: [Somatostatinoma in the pancreas].
abstract: A case of a pancreatic somatostatinoma in a 54 year old male is presented. A pancreatic carcinoma with hepatic metastases were primary diagnosed, and the patient had a palliative choledochoduodenostomy and gastroenteroanastomosis. As he was still alive four years later, the histological samples were reevaluated. Immunohistochemically the tumor was found positive for somatostatin, neuron-specific enolase and pancreatic polypeptide. Symptoms, diagnosis, pathology and treatment in relation to somatostatinomas are discussed.
