| Abstract | Gastrinoma is a gastrin-secreting tumor that is associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The majority of cases occur in the pancreas, followed by the duodenum. Early diagnosis is difficult due to the relative rarity of the tumor and the lack of specific symptoms. In the current study, a 68-year-old female patient presented at the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China) due to intermittent abdominal pain and watery diarrhea. The patient was treated by surgical resection and was pathologically diagnosed with a well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (gastrinoma; grade 1). No evidence of recurrence was observed during 1 year of follow-up. Furthermore, a review of the Chinese literature was performed, which analyzed an additional 17 published cases of gastrinoma. The tumor size ranged between 0.5×0.5 cm and 7.5×6.3×5.1 cm. The pancreas was the most common site of occurrence, accounting for 72% (13/18) of cases, followed by the duodenum (28%; 5/18). The most common initial symptom was abdominal pain (89%; 16/18), followed by diarrhea (56%; 10/18). In 18 cases, including the present case and 17 previous cases, the level of gastrin ranged between 137 and 1,550 pg/ml (normal range, 5–100 pg/ml). Of the 17 previous cases, 11 patients underwent surgery and 6 patients received conservative therapy due to metastasis or patient choice. Overall, gastrinoma remains a rare disease. Complete removal of the lesion is the standard curative treatment and conservative treatment is only recommended for patients unsuitable for surgery or for those with widespread metastasis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
