Abstract

Somatostatinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors. Gastrointestinal somatostatinomas are usually found in the pancreas but may also be seen in the duodenum. Duodenal somatostatinomas are especially localized in the periampullary region. Although they may occasionally lead to hormonal syndromes they are usually non-functional. In this report we present a case of ampullary somatostatinoma.
