[Jejunal vipoma].
We report here case of a 57-year-old woman presenting with a metastatic vipoma revealed by secretory diarrhea and severe ionic disorders successfully treated by somatostatin administration. The primitive tumour, located in the jejunum, was identified peroperatively. Both the primitive lesion and the liver metastases were resected at the same time. Early tumour relapse occurred and was unsuccessfully treated by systemic chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, streptozotocin and doxorubin) and chemoembolization. Finally, a liver transplantation was proposed.
