Abstract

We report on a case of malignant gastrinoma located on the posterior surface of the descending duodenum, presenting with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The tumor was not evident on preoperative imaging studies, metastasis was not present and there was no coincidence with multiple endocrine neoplasia type-I. As the gastrinoma was located on the posterior surface of the pancreatic head, to obtain a sufficiant safety margin, partial excision of this region was necessary. Under preservation of the Oddi's sphincter, the reconstruction was completed by direct suturing of the duodenal wall to the pancreatic surface without need for enteral diversion procedures. This technique represents a possible non-invasive resection modality for benign and malignant duodenal gastrinomas located close to the pancreatic head region.
