[Somatostatinoma. Apropos of a case].
Somatostatinoma are uncommon pancreatic endocrine tumors. We review the epidemiological, pathological, clinical and biological characteristics. The diagnosis of a somatostatinoma may be suggested clinically but is confirmed by histology of the resected tumor and specific immunohistochemistry marking. Malignancy is diagnosed on the presence metastases. Surgery is required with excision of the tumor, lymph nodes and metastases.
